Database content<br />
GENESEQ (file DGENE) is an intellectually annotated database of protein and nucleic<br />
sequences indexed from the basic patent publications of the 47 patent authorities of the Derwent<br />
World Patents Index ® (DWPI SM ) (file WPINDEX) 1 . DGENE is updated once every two weeks.<br />
Sequences in DGENE<br />
� Protein and nucleic acid sequences from 1981 to date<br />
� From the basic patent publications of 44 patent authorities<br />
� Individual records for sequences that differ by even one nucleotide or amino acid<br />
� Sequences with natural, common, uncommon or non-natural nucleotides or amino acids<br />
� Polypeptide and protein sequences of >3 amino acid residues<br />
� Nucleic acid sequences of >9 nucleotides<br />
� Nucleic acid primer and probe sequences of any length<br />
� Sequence identifying information in description and keyword fields<br />
� Features table for annotations and modifications<br />
DGENE records also contain<br />
� English abstracts per sequence written by Thomson Reuters experts<br />
� Enhanced patent titles from DWPI<br />
� Bibliographic Patent information from DWPI<br />
� Cross-reference Accession Numbers from corresponding DWPI records<br />
DGENE offers three sequence searching methods<br />
� BLAST ® for advanced similarity searching using the NCBI BLAST algorithm<br />
� GETSIM for advanced similarity searching based on the FastA algorithm<br />
� GETSEQ for simple sequence queries<br />
DGENE also provides<br />
� Offline batch sequence searching<br />
� Current awareness Alert feature for similarity searching<br />
