laws haven't even matured to the point they Must around the human genome. I searched for a company doing this 2 years ago after I picked-up my collectors issue of Nature magazine on the genome. Recently, after a blackberry convo with a molecular prof. emiritus from MIT I learned that my own genome dreams may exist before my lifespan reaches a conclusion. see "jpeek345" at 43things.
