I am currently working through how Paterra Version 2.0 handles sequence
listings and would appreciate some advice from users. This question
relates more broadly to dealing with errors and noncompliance.
While many recent Japanese patent publications that contain sequence
listings that are in compliance with ST.25, many are partially
noncompliant or in older formats. (I have yet to find a US patent that
is in compliance.)
It is possible to write algorithms that automatically bring noncompliant
sequence listings into compliance. For example, nucleic acid sequences
that are all upper case in the original document can be converted to
lower case.
Also, to some extent, one may be able to automatically convert sequence
listings in older formats to ST.25 format as part of the machine
translation process .
What are the views of information users on the issue of automatic
recognition and correction of errors, and also on the issue of automatic
conversion of legacy formats to current standards?
