Genomic land Grab Itsd interesting to see how opinions differ even in fundamental things as the number of genes in the human genome. Another view on that question: LEXG claims that they have 95k mouse clones each of them with one (or more?) genes knocked out. Well, if LEXG is studying only single knockouts (I'd guess that this is true for the vast majority of the clones since they would need at least 50k^2 variations to even account for all the 2-way combinations, using the lowest estimate for the # of genes), then this would be a strong argument for more than 50k genes, right? And even if all genes encoding proteins are discovered, I do not think that the land grab is over, as long as their function is unknown. I would think that the patent office will not allow to broad and unspecific claims on genes.
