What sequences must be included in a “Sequence Listing XML”?
According to MPEP 2412.03, the following sequences must be included in a “Sequence Listing XML”:
- Unbranched sequences or linear regions of branched sequences containing 4 or more specifically defined amino acids forming a single peptide backbone
- Unbranched sequences or linear regions of branched sequences of 10 or more specifically defined nucleotides joined by phosphodiester linkages or chemical bonds mimicking naturally occurring nucleic acids
The MPEP states: Generally, the data associated with nucleotide sequences that are an unbranched sequence or constitute a linear portion of a branched sequence of 10 or more specifically defined nucleotides are required to be listed in a “Sequence Listing XML.”
