The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Genetic Sequence Database (USGENE), produced by SequenceBase Corporation, is now available on STN.  USGENE brings together USPTO sequence data with key elements of bibliographic and full-text data to provide a unified platform in which patent searchers can combine sequence data, date, and patent claims text searching.  

Coverage includes all available peptide and nucleic acid sequences from published applications and issued patents of the USPTO from 1982 to the present.  Each USGENE record represents a specific sequence found in a USPTO patent.  USGENE currently includes more than 6 million sequence records, with updates occurring weekly and records typically available within 7 days of publication by the USPTO.

For additional information on USGENE, refer to the Database Summary Sheet or STNGuide online.
