A Software architecture. PatentMatrix takes as input two files: i) a list of genes or proteins with the associated patent sequence accession numbers ii) a list of keywords describing the research context of interest. Each IP entry is retrieved from the GENESEQ™ database through 'getz' calls to the SRS system. B 'standard' output file. The 'standard' output is a tab delimited table displaying for each IP entry the results of the analysis. Hyperlinks to the Entrez Gene to the GENESEQ™ databases are available. The individual output fields are described in the "Methods" section.
