IMHO, work on genes, DNA,etc. is a poor area in which to look for a gorilla. Most of the research is financed by NIH and other government agencies, so the results have to be published and available to everybody. Proprietary technology will be scarce. Technologically, it's a long long way from knowing the chemical link up of a chromosome to finding a therapy for anything. Part of what one hears is pure hype, a research grant application via the press. It's also true that it's the task of a scientist to look far into the future. But the telescopic view is too far away for an investor. So I think.
