Greg, Incyte (INCY) is a biotech company in the gene identification field, part of the human genome project. Incyte and Human Genome Sciences (HGSI) have made huge strides in mapping the entire genetic makeup of human beings. I have owned INCY and HGSI several times, though I am currently out of HGSI on a price basis. A who's who of drug companies subscribe to Incyte's Lifeseq human gene sequence and expression database.

I would wait for a down day to buy. It has been fairly strong this week. But a great co. The one negative is legal. With over 200 gene patents issued, their legitimacy has yet to be tested in court.
