Hey Cathal,
-- FYI, the US supreme court in a 9/0 decision invalidated all patents on human genes in 2010. Here is an awesome TED talk by Tania Simoncelli, one of the lawyers involved.

Hey Alex,Really glad to finally see a DNA-seq company emerge that puts personal genetic ownership front-and-centre! I never went for 23andme because they started asserting ownership over genotypes, and even patented a few genes discovered from their customers.Does Genos have a customer-facing agreement revoking all moral or legal right to patent or otherwise assert intellectual "property" over their customers' DNA? I appreciate the plain-word pledge on the first page, but I'm thinking of something more clearly defined that can be a best-practice to lead the field.Thanks,
