US Arabidopsis thaliana Patent Applications: Number of Sequences Referenced in Claims per Genome Segment

For the plots below, the Arabidopsis genome was divided into 300 kbp segments.  For patent applications that claim Arabidopsis gene sequences, the plots below show the number of sequences that match at least a 150 bp fragment of each 300 kbp genome segment.

In addition to initial patent filings, continuation and divisional applications are included in the count, so the same sequence may be counted multiple times. Each plot shows data for a single Arabidopsis chromosome.

See the corresponding plots for the rice genome landscape.

The Arabidopsis genomic data contains some vector contamination for chomosomes 2 and 3 resulting in some spikes that go off the scale of the chart.
