At the interface between biology and computer science, we seek to better understand evolutionary and functional relationships between genes, genomes & species.

FastOMA is out now in Nature Methods 🎉: https://t.co/6nNVfbCVqr A new orthology inference algorithm that scales linearly and is highly accurate. FastOMA can process all >2000 eukaryotic UniProt ref proteomes <24 hours 🚀. Try it out at https://t.co/QUPiRx33J9

[Nature Methods @naturemethods]

From @SinaMajidian, @DessimozLab and colleagues, FastOMA achieves fast and accurate orthology inference, with linear scalability.

In this exciting new preprint, Warwick Vesztrocy et al use Bgee to show that "the most diverged orthologues display the greatest change in gene expression, thus suggesting that they have a greater functional divergence"

Exploring gene duplications! Our study reveals how duplicated genes diverge in function using structural and expression analysis across 36 species. Check out our paper: https://t.co/RxbKnnKFsx

For evolutionary biologists interested in tracing genomes back to their ancient ancestors, we’ve developed EdgeHOG—a tool that reconstructs ancestral gene orders at an unprecedented scale and speed. #Genomics #EvolutionaryBiology #EdgeHOG Thread!

[Dessimoz Lab @DessimozLab]

EdgeHOG is now available on GitHub https://t.co/urs2SGX00v. Whether you’re working with a small clade or a large phylogeny, you can now perform ancestral gene order inference with ease. Try it out and let us know how it goes. #OpenScience #GitHub

Have a look at the article I reposted by @BallouxFrancois, @cedriccstan and @LucyvanDorp if you're interested in viruses and their evolutionary signature when jump hosts. I had the pleasure of writing a news and views piece about this work with @cdessimoz

[Christophe Dessimoz @cdessimoz]

📢 Glad to share our piece 'AI and the democratization of knowledge' @ScientificData. Data is the new oil—ripe for reuse. But what does it take to reuse? it's about making data interpretable by all, including AI, the ultimate non-specialist! #OpenScience https://t.co/dQHEiebreP

📢CALL FOR ABSTRACTS📢

🌟Abstract submission is now open for the Quest for Orthologs meeting #QFO8 which will be held at the University of Quebec in Montreal, Canada on July 17-18!
