True, but it's also true that the human genome isn't an invention, and a fortiori that Celera didn't invent the human genome. A patent of a gene sequence doesn't have practical usefulness in and of itself, and Celera hasn't suggested that any gene sequence has any practical usefulness in and of itself. Finally, Celera hasn't patented any novel use of any of the genes in such a way as to enable a knowledgeable person to practice the invention in the best mode. Certainly Celera can patent their software, and their way of sequencing genes.
