      the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in the Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc, that human genes cannot be patented because DNA is a “product of nature.” All gene patents were invalidated with this ruling.

          Maybe you can cite the exact statement we’re all missing. You can’t because the trouble you’re running into is that we did read it, and it seems perhaps you did not, but you can’t try. Summary: can’t patent unmanipulated genes. Can patent manipulated genes and sequencing processes.
