Biotech / Medical : Incyte (INCY) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

So, Incyte has patents pending which cover 1.2M EST sequences,
and the first patent for a set of EST's which cover 44 protein
kinases was just issued. I think I got that right.

So is 1.2M a very large number of EST sequences? There are an
awful lot up for grabs still. Is 44 an impressive number of PK's
to have in a single patent? Which companies are the runners up in
the race? (And finally, why the hell have I been sitting on shares
of Hyseq and Ariad when I could have been making money along with
all of you? Being a contrarian in stocks can be very costly...)

<<This is great stuff!!!>>

Yes it is. I wonder if they are going to issue a press release each time a new EST patent is issued. If so they are going to be issuing press releases every other day. I think we are looking at a solid run to $40.
