Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention provides methods and systems for assembling a genome from a shot-gun set of end sequenced DNA fragments. Specifically the present , invention provides a method of determining the genomic sequence (base sequence and orientation) of a complex genome using DNA sequence information generated from a collection of DNA fragments obtained from the genome. The present method is particularly useful in assembling genomes of at least 10MB (up to 5GB) and which are made up of at least 5% repetitive DNA sequences (up to 25% repetitive), but can be used also for smaller genomes with a lower percentage of repetitive DNA.

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 29, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended January 29, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 29, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
