Figure 4: Patent sequences, which map to the human genome with various homology thresholds, can now be investigated using PatSeq Explorer-Human genome (http://www.lens.org/lens/bio/patseqexplorer).
From: Transparency tools in gene patenting for informing policy and practice
In this example, disclosed sequences in patents with applicant “Myriad” and which map to the human genome with 90–100% similarity and 100% coverage are displayed in PatSeq Explorer. Under 'Filters' option, users can view patenting trends based on either publication or filing dates, or filter based on jurisdiction, sequence length, species or document type. Under 'Search' option, users can interrogate the data based on patent attributes such as claims, applicant, owner, inventor and classification. In the chromosome view, added features include linking to the OMIM database (turquoise panel) for associated disorders and traits on that particular position, viewing the document collection in the Lens at http://www.lens.org (brown panel), and analyzing the data at the loci/gene/sequence regions using PatSeq Analyzer.(orange panel).
