There's something a little creepy about the idea that someone could take out a patent on human genes (or any genes, really, but it's closer to home when they're human), so I was interested to see this ACLU update from Monday about a district court ruling saying that such patents are invalid.
I don't think anyone has ever expressed interest in acquiring legal ownership of any genes expressed by my personally, but if they do, they're doomed to sorrow and disappointment! So there.
