Our databases and software implementations
OMA
(Orthologous MAtrix), which classifies genes from around 2000 species into families of orthologs.
OMA Standalone
, to identify orthologs among custom genomes.
ALF
, a powerful yet easy-to-use gene/genome sequence simulation tool (available both as downloadable version and web interface).
SWPS3
, a highly optimised Smith-Waterman implementation for x86 and IBM Cell B.E. architectures.
Orthology Benchmark Service
, a web-based server to assess the quality of ortholog predictions.
Phylo.io
, a web-based phylogenetic tree visualisation tool with powerful side-by-side comparison features.
ESPRIT
(Establishing Split PRoteins in Tentative genomes), to identify split genes in fragmented genome assemblies, available as part of the OMA standalone package.
QTLsearch
, a tool to prioritise candidate causal genes from QTL analysis, based on prior knowledge and using an evolutionary framework
