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 🎉: nature.com/articles/s41592-0… 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 github.com/DessimozLab/fasto…

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: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

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!
EdgeHOG is now available on GitHub github.com/DessimozLab/edgeH…. 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
Learn more in this blog post by Charles Bernard, first author of the work: lab.dessimoz.org/blog/2024/0…

Many interesting discussions at the #ISMB2024 poster sessions. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our poster and to #ISCB and @DessimozLab for the opportunity!
With a nice photo of lab alumnus @leomrtns !
We made it! The final stop of @BioFAIRUK Roadshow.
Lots of people to thank:
-Those who has took the time to join us in Norwich
-Our amazing speakers @irenepapatheodo @_EllenBell @DipaliD4
-Our fantastic colleagues @EarlhamInst for making the event run smoothly. #FAIR #DataSharing

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

📢 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 nature.com/articles/s41597-0…

📢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!
