Happy New Year 2019.

It was nice to have Dr. Simon Barak from Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel as a CDIB/BMB seminar speaker at LSU. In collaboration with his group, we have recently published a review article; Link; https://t.co/TN37J8cqFb.

[DassanayakeLab @DassanayakeLab]

We have recently developed the CLfinder-OrthNet pipeline. This is useful to detect co-linearity among multiple closely related genomes, finds orthologous gene groups, and encodes the evolutionary history of each orthologue group into a network (OrthNet).
