Kent: The Genome Superman
Aug 28, 2001
Profile of James Kent, who recently published the human genomeCRLF sequencing algorithm for all to see. And who has some very responsible views on patents andCRLF copyrights: "...all of the attention showered on Kent has also led to an avalanche of job offers, butCRLF Kent is not tempted in the least to make a foray into industry. 'At least not until the U.S. patent systemCRLF changes a little bit,' he said. Almost all genomics companies hold patents on genes, which Kent isCRLF patently against. 'The human genome is a lot of work to sequence and put together, but it's not aCRLF human invention, and not something that we scientists have added so much value to,' he said."
