There has been tremendous lobbying, pressure and marketing from the Broad Institute on this issue. For instance, see: http://www.michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=1825 http://www.michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=1825 I have personally talked to a student at the Broad Institute who told me a number of people there do not agree with the Broad positions (namely the Cell article and Lander's statements).
