A billion dollar punt.

Merck's acquisition of Sirna Therapeutics is a gamble, but gambling may not always be such a bad thing.

Structure and function in gene patenting.

The United States patent system treats DNA sequences as large chemical compounds in determining their patentability. This approach has been helpful to those who seek to patent previously unidentified DNA sequences, but it may prove less advantageous from the perspective of those who elucidate biological functions and disease relevance of previously identified genes. A current controversy over patent rights for DNA sequences encoding leptin receptors provides a useful case study for illustrating some of the issues that are likely to arise in applying doctrine derived from chemical patent cases in the context of gene discovery.

Academic-industry research relationships in genetics: a field apart.

Academic-industry research relationships (AIRRS) have become widely accepted and increasingly common in the life sciences. Using nationwide surveys from the United States, we found significant differences between the AIRRs of genetics firms and faculty and those of other firms and faculty. Significantly more genetics than non-genetics firms funded AIRRs, and genetics firms' AIRRs were larger and longer. Genetics faculty with AIRRs were significantly more likely than non-genetics faculty to report that patents, licenses, new companies and trade secrets had resulted from their university research; and that they had refused to share research results of biomaterials with colleagues.
