All Mapped Out - Forbes.com: "Comparing the genes Venter got from his mom to those he got from his dad led to the banner conclusion of the paper on his genome: that people are more genetically different from each other than scientists expect. Venter's team of researchers found that whole genes were missing from one set of DNA, and that others repeated. Church points out that the differences were exactly what would have been predicted by previous studies of genetic diversity, including the government-funded HapMap project. The idea that people are basically clones of each other comes from big statements Venter and others made back in 2000."

So where does this leave Ventor's patent on a gene chassis?
