There are 5 different search types on the Bio platform.
- Sequences
- Antibody
- Motif
- Fragment
- Advanced
This article will cover Sequence Searching:
When searching and viewing patents on the Bio Platform you will need to follow a three-step process.
- Run a sequence search with Bio filters.
- Refine Search results using source filters.
- View results on analytics.
Sequence Searching:
When doing a sequence search you have two options:
- Type out the sequence you are interested in.
- When typing out a sequence you can input the query as a DNA or RNA chain, protein sequence, FASTA format, or by typing out a string of amino acids.
- The system supports multi-format input so you can combine any of the input formats up to 200 sequences.
- Upload a FASTA file.
After inputting the search query, specify the input type and search database using the filters on the right side of the screen.
Once you have selected the filters the search button will be activated.
Once the search results are collected, you can further refine using the filters on the left-hand side of the screen
After filtering your search results, you can:
-
- View the patents in analytics.
- To view patents on analytics, select a sequence code.
- A new window will open into the analytics platform to view all patents that cite the selected code. Once you open analytics with all the desired patents you can save them to a workspace and interact with them using the workspace functions.
- To view patents on analytics, select a sequence code.
- Export the results as a FASTA file.
- View sources
- View the patents in analytics.
Within the view, the sources tab is used primarily to view the overlap in entered sequences. Additionally, the view sources tab can be used to view all patents at once for all sequences rather than selecting sequences individually.
