Does GENESEQ have single or double stranded DNA?
GENESEQ covers both single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. The two types are distinguished by the terms “ss” and “ds” in the keyword field. However, in the case of double-stranded DNA, only the 5′ to 3′ strand in input. This follows the USPTO requirements for all nucleotide sequences in the sequence listing section, which have to be presented on diskette, as single stranded, 5′ to 3′, left to right (for more information see “An overview of the PTO sequence rules”. The Law Works, February 1996, page 4).
