Whole Genome View of Nucleotide Sequences from U.S. Patents that are Highly Similar to Rice Genome Sequences

To generate the data for this application, sequences were extracted from both US applications and US granted patents. The extracted sequences were then compared to the genome using MEGABLAST, and are shown here using the Gbrowse genome browser.

Granted U.S. patents are designated by the blue arrow heads, and applications are designated by the grey shading on each of the 12 chromosomes. The darker the shading, the more patent application sequences there are with homology to that particular section of the chromosome*.

The figure below is interactive! Click on a chromosome to see more detail about rice patents and patent applications, and then shift + click to see the region in greater detail.

* Each chromosome is divided into sections 300,000 base pairs in length. It is important to note that it is possible that each 300,000 base pair section encompasses a plurality of different sequences, and therefore a dark shading pattern may indicate that multiple sequences are recited in the claims of patent applications, rather than a single sequence recited in the claims of multiple patent applications.
