PatSeq: Exploring Biological Sequences in patents

The Lens’ unique open facility allows you to search, analyse and share the biological sequences disclosed in patents. This is the world’s largest publicly available database with internal transparency metrics.

Choose among the 5 apps available to you to search and analyse the DNA, RNA and protein sequences found in patents and how these can inform innovation or shape strategies for research or product development.

PatSeq Data

Compare biological patent holdings in the Lens with national and regional patent offices databases, view sequence disclosures across jurisdictions over time, and download…

PatSeq Explorer

Navigate and analyse patent-disclosed sequences mapped onto genomes and chromosomes and explore linkages between sequences and phenotypes…

PatSeq Analyzer

Compare patenting activity at the chromosomal locus or gene level, filter by sequence or search by patent attributes to analyse extent and scope of invention at that level…

PatSeq Finder

Use input DNA or protein sequence(s) to find matches in the Lens PatSeq database, and determine whether the results have been referenced in the claims of a patent, or just disclosed…

PatSeq Text Search

Search for patent documents that declare at least one sequence in their sequence listings section as derived from a specific species. Use keywords to perform full text search… Launch the PatSeq Facility
