Derwent SequenceBase: Comprehensive patent data and CDR searching–the perfect complement

As the coronavirus pandemic spreads across the globe, putting unprecedented pressure on social, health, and economic systems, scientists have worked arduously to create vaccine candidates in record time. When it comes to understanding such diseases and bringing treatments to fruition, improving sequence searching capabilities has helped reduce development time for a vaccine. For example, the combination of unique CDR sequences that allow an antibody to specifically recognize Covid-19 is critical in the development of diagnostic testing and vaccine research.
