Intellectual Property Search

New keyword search

Search through the patent databases with patent numbers without having to worry about missing results that are hidden inside related patent families, or different formats of Patent Numbers.

• Patent Numbers are automatically normalized to GenomeQuest standard format used in GQ-PAT.
• Search results include related patent families in a nice overview report that also allows users to click through to the actual patent records.
• Search with a single patent number or a list of them.

Compare Two Sequences

Quickly reconstruct alignments between two sequences.

• An easy copy & paste interface.
• Supports both the BLAST and GenePAST algorithms.

Support uploaded query sequences in IP search

Make it easier when working with larger data sets.

Virtual databases as subject database in IP search

Search against any subset of patent databases. For example, patents that have been granted, or only US ones, or only ones submitted before a certain date, or excluding her own company and partners. You can create a virtual databank after a keyword search.

Next Generation Sequencing Analysis

Enhanced read processing

• multi-plexing. creating multiple NGS read databases from a single sequencing experiment.
• Flexible vector clipping. removing parts of the sequence left by the experimental procedure.

Speed improvements in the reads mapping

General improvements

Local admin

Each company now can designate an administrator that can perform some special tasks, including:

• redistribute NGS credits to users within your company.
• Create new tags to use for various items in the GenomeQuest platform.

Improved grouping display

Display grouped alignments and sequences in a more intuitive way, making better use of screen estate as well.

Multi-column sort

Added a sort button next to the filtering & grouping buttons, allowing users to sort on multiple things at the same time (like in Excel).
