Five stages of the Human Genome project
Article Abstract:
Enough data has been collected from the Human Genome Project to reach certain conclusions. There is not enough information in the genomic database to explain complex functional attributes of cells and organisms. For this reason there must be other informational systems and operating rules that complement genomic systems. Epigenesis is known to be one such system. Program rules which produce regulation are extragenomic and are most likely to be found not in molecular mechanisms per se, but in their integration into complex gene circuits and, more peripherally, into their conndtedness with regulatory networks (metabolic and other) of cellular dimensions.

Going for the big one: blockbuster patents enrich university coffers, but can also affect future patenting and research divisions
Article Abstract:
Universities and nonprofit institutions are playing a major role in "blockbuster" patents in the biotechnology industry. Universities are becoming more involved in granting licenses for technology such as gene transfer, antiangiogenesis, and transgenic mice technology, to third parties.
