SHOOT, the phylogenetic sequence search engine, has been published!. SHOOT is like BLAST, but instead of a list of similar sequences you get a maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree for your query gene sequence. Try it👉 Article👉

RT @dr_belcher: OrthoFinder just dropped a major update. It’s faster, more accurate, and ready for thousands of genomes. Let’s break it dow….

RT @Steve__Kelly: It has been a while… but an updated, faster & more accurate version of OrthoFinder is now out! . Scales to thousands of….

I've moved to new pastures, working on AI models for genomics at the excellent @instadeepai, but will carry on supporting the OrthoFinder team in the background. They're going to be working on some great, new functionality so keep an eye open for that: .

And with the new OrthoFinder team we have a new website to bookmark for all the latest updates:

Laurie gives the lowdown here:.

We have a new version of OrthoFinder:. Faster scaling to larger species sets, phylogenetically resolved orthogroups, reduced RAM usage. Thanks to @dr_belcher, Yi Liu & Jonathan Holmes who have joined the team, and as ever OrthoFinder's PI @Steve__Kelly!.

is powered by OrthoFinder, DIAMOND, IQ-TREE, MAFFT, EPA-ng & phylotree.js with some other clever technologies under the hood to accelerate your search and gene tree inference. Try it👉 Article👉

You give a query sequence and it builds a gene tree and identifies the orthologs of your gene in other species. Try it👉 Article👉

The source code for the command line version is on GitHub: There's also code on GitHub for a SHOOT webserver. If you're interested in adapting it to enable phylogenetic gene search for a genome resource website, let me know!.

The preprint for the gene search website with @Steve__Kelly has been updated: SHOOT lets you search a protein sequence & get back a maximum likelihood gene tree for your sequence. It's a robust & easy way to get accurate orthologs.
