Text and Bibliographic searching<br />
Introduction<br />
As well as being a database of sequence information, DGENE is also a bibliographic patent<br />
database complete with titles, abstracts and other front-page publication details. Each DGENE<br />
sequence record includes a concise abstract per sequence written by a Thomson Reuters subject<br />
specialist 1 . In addition, there are sequence-specific searchable details, including organism name,<br />
Patent Sequence Location (PSL) and value-added feature table indexing. DGENE therefore offers<br />
a number of different ways to refine sequence results searching by subject and dates, and is also an<br />
excellent value-added resource for word-based searches on a wide variety of life science topics.<br />
DGENE Basic Index<br />
An unqualified search query is automatically searched against the Basic Index of DGENE. The<br />
Basic Index comprises: Title (TI), Abstract (AB), Organism Name (ORGN), Description (DESC)<br />
and Keywords (KW). It does NOT include Molecule Type (MTY) or the feature table (FEAT).<br />
Title (TI)<br />
The title comes from WPINDEX and provides a concise summary of the patent as a whole,<br />
comprising the scope, novelty and practical application(s) of the overall invention.<br />
Abstract (AB)<br />
Concise summary of the sequence and its context within the overall invention, including features,<br />
applications, preparation, analysis, etc depending on the content and focus of the patent document.<br />
Organism name (ORGN)<br />
The organism name is the name of the source organism for the sequence. This is generally in the<br />
latin form: genus species. Synthetic (or unidentified) is indexed for sequences which were<br />
prepared synthetically, or where the biological origin was not described in the patent document.<br />
Description (DESC)<br />
A concise description of the specific sequence, e.g. Human alcohol-dehydrogenase enzyme;<br />
Human alcohol-dehydrogenase gene; DNA probe used to detect alcohol-dehydrogenase; etc<br />
Keywords (KW)<br />
A field comprising words and terms indexed by the abstractor which relate to the specific<br />
sequence, rather than simply to the invention as a whole. The field features some useful<br />
standardized terminology, e.g. ss (single stranded) or ds (double stranded) sequences. See <strong>note</strong>.<br />
<strong>note</strong><br />
The DGENE Keywords (/KW) field often incorporates Gene Ontology (GO)<br />
indexing. Look up GO terms of interest at: http://amigo.geneontology.org/.<br />
