And there are something like 6 variants of each gene, making 180,000 or more genes. Poor Barry Commoner.And so all the leading lights of the biotech community, concerned about the small number of human genes, are misled and wrong, except you of course. Enlighten us. Please.

No, you're just behind on your reading. This is the problem with relying on sources of the Popular Science variety and news media. They are sometimes years behind in what they report. These variants were discussed quite fully in the scientific literature during the past year. You could start by looking at PubMed.
