New on 31 March 2011: BiSSAP Version 1.0 – new service to facilitate the filing of biological sequences

BiSSAP Version 1.0, the Biological Sequence Submission Application for Patents, is now available for download.

The purpose of the new software is to facilitate the creation of sequence listings for patent applications containing biological sequences: BiSSAP Version 1.0 can be used to prepare and verify sequences, generate the sequence listing files for submission, import existing sequence listings in WIPO ST. 25 and convert between sequence listing formats (WIPO ST. 25 and XML proposal). It also contains a "batch verification" module allowing users to verify collections of sequence listings.
