Granted U.S. Patents: Number of Sequences Oryza sativa Sequences Referenced in Claims per Genome Segment

The blue bars in the plots below represent the number of sequences recited in the claims of U.S. patents that match a given 300 kilobase pair (kbp) segment of the rice genome. By match, we mean that the patent sequence is at least 150 base pairs in length and aligns with a rice genome sequence with a BLAST E value of 1e^-200 or less. If there were multiple recited sequences matching the rice chromosome, only the highest scoring genome match was counted.

Summary of plots:

The plots show that the majority of the 300 kbp segments do not match any sequences that are recited in the claims of granted U.S. patents. For the segments that have one or more matches, there are no more than eight matched sequences per segment. Chromosome 3 has the most sequences matches with 55, and chromosome 9 had the fewest with 13.
