The number of patent applications containing gene sequences increase each year, with gene sequences appearing in patents that may be broadly applied to many aspects of biotechnology and drug development. Nonetheless, relatively few reports have focused on gene-related patents, and there has been no prior attempt to study patent-related sequences from a biological perspective. We herein used bioinformatics analysis to identify patent-associated genes. The biological sequences disclosed in published patents were compared with RefSeq database, and the patent-associated hits were mapped to Entrez Gene, OMIM and GO databases. Mapping analysis revealed that 24,273 (61%) of known human genes were related to patenting, and asthma was the frequently patent-associated disease appearing in 264 patents. We have consolidated the association results and the patent sequence data to a relational database and implemented a web-based user interface to provide search service. We also provide web-based BLAST facility, allowing users to compare their sequences against patent sequences.
