What are the mandatory elements of the INSDSeq in a Sequence Listing XML?
The INSDSeq element in a Sequence Listing XML contains several mandatory dependent elements. According to MPEP 2413.01(g), these elements are:
- INSDSeq_length: Length of the sequence
- INSDSeq_moltype: Molecule type
- INSDSeq_division: Indication that a sequence is related to a patent application
- INSDSeq_feature-table: List of annotations of the sequence
- INSDSeq_sequence: The sequence itself
These elements are crucial for properly representing biological sequence information in patent applications and ensuring compliance with WIPO Standard ST.26.
