MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631099057 A) filed by Dr. Saikat Mukherjee; and Dr. Shantirani Thokchom on August 17, 2026, for A System And Method For Consensus Detection Of Biosynthetic Gene Clusters.
Inventors include Dr. Saikat Mukherjee; and Dr. Shantirani Thokchom.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for identification of secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters from bacterial whole genome sequences using an integrated multi-algorithm computational framework. The system comprises a genome input module, a genome annotation module, a multi-algorithm genome mining module configured to identify candidate biosynthetic gene clusters using a plurality of biosynthetic gene cluster prediction algorithms, a consensus detection engine configured to generate consensus biosynthetic gene cluster coordinates and assign confidence scores, a novelty assessment module configured to determine a Novelty Index and classify detected biosynthetic gene clusters, a secondary metabolite prediction module, a ranking module, and a visualization and reporting module configured to generate an analytical report. The invention enables automated identification, annotation, novelty assessment, metabolite prediction, and prioritization of biosynthetic gene clusters for natural product discovery, microbial biotechnology, and synthetic biology applications.
