patented gene

基本解釋

With the breakthrough of life science and technology in the 20th century, whether the gene should be patented has become an important problem.
20世紀(jì)生命科技的突破性發(fā)展，使得基因應(yīng)否予以專利保護(hù)成為重要問題。
US Patent Control of plant gene expression" was introduced in this paper. The patented technology genetically modifies plants in order to prevent seeds from germinating in the next generation."
美國公布的“植物基因表達(dá)調(diào)控”的專利技術(shù)，使經(jīng)遺傳改變的植物生產(chǎn)的下一代種子不能發(fā)芽。

Luckily, however, it seems that the vast web of patented gene sequences is not stopping anyone from trying to discover new drugs.

He does not, however, own the right to the use of the patented gene, or of the seed or plant containing the patented gene or cell.

These are all far from the absolute ban on copying that patents provide, and would solve the problem facing researchers who must isolate a patented gene sequence in order to study it.
