U.S. Patent Applications: Number of Patent Applications that Claim Oryza sativa Sequences per Genome Segment

The blue bars in the plots below represent the number of U.S. patent applications that recite sequences in claims that match each 300 Kbp segment of the rice genome. By match, we mean that the patent sequence is at least 150 base pairs in length and aligns with a rice genome sequence with a BLAST E value of 1e^-200 or less. If there were multiple recited sequences matching the rice chromosome, only the highest scoring genome match was counted.

Summary of plots:

The plots show that for every 300 kbp segment of the rice genome, there are four or more patent applications that recite sequences in claims that match the rice genome.
