DNA fingerprinting is the one way of protecting our crop varieties. DNA sequence information can be utilized for the same purpose, But whole genome sequencing cannot be done for each variety. So, can we sequence some particular candidate genes for protection under Intellectual property rights?
Julian Cockbain
yes, of course (as long as the selected sequence is not 'obvious'). best done before the sequence of the 'new' crop is published. any patent attorney should be able to talk you through what to do

Julian Cockbain Sir, I am asking about maize crop for which DNA sequence is already available in the database. We want to protect them for our own purpose.
