Introduction
Nucleotide is a building block for deoxyribose nucleic acids which is called DNA that has four base units,adenin(A) ,thymine(T) ,guanine(G), cytosine(C). The nucleotides can bond with their base pairs(A=T,G=C) to form a linear strand that is supported by sugar-phosphate backbone. In the linear strand, some of three base sequence is a codon and each codon is related to an amino acid. These codons come together in a linear sequence and create a gene. Gene can be called as cipher that encrypts proteins. According to results of human genom project, there are approximately 20,500 genes and 500,000 proteins in human body....

New Zeland is a shining example of this topic. Currently they employ over 2.200 personnel and provide to the economy over 300-400 million dollars each year. While it can be considered a small group as it is just 2.200 personnel, it placed New Zeland to the Top Ten of the countries in Biotechnological innovation at the international arena of biotechnology.
One of the most important basis of biotechnology industry is of course the gene patents. Mostly human gene patents. About 20% of human genes has been patented. Gene patents can be catagorised into four basic groups, to their uses.
1) Producing therapeutic proteins. This is basicly used to use a certain DNA or mRNA code to a certain protein to create and produce more of that protein.
2) Diagnosing disease. There is not much to explain here. Simply using gene sequences to identify the disease. For example, taking samples from body and identifying the type of …show more content…
However, they enhanced the costs, constricted patients. Access and options, decreased innovation, restricted researches, and promoted the improvement of databases of medically signifacant genetic findings. The Supreme Court judgement in which eventually started to be known as AMP v Myriad was expressed and widely written. The court accepted Myriad’s significant contributions in description the exact chromosomal locations and sqeuences of BRAC1 and BRCA2. However, they noticed that these findings were not patentabe discoveries. Justice Thomas said that Myriad had invented nothing. The Supreme Court recognized that amplification, sqeuencing, and the other techniques Myriad implemented in isolating the genes were an accustomed method as well but isolation is necessary to manage genetic
