From Sina Majidian, Dessimoz Lab and colleagues, FastOMA achieves fast and accurate orthology inference, with linear scalability. nature.com/articles/s4159…

FastOMA is out now in Nature Methods 🎉: nature.com/articles/s4159… 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/fa…

How it works? FastOMA uses 1️⃣A fast k-mer based placement for clustering homologous genes, 2️⃣Highly parallelized, taxonomy-guided processing of gene family. Read more on FastOMA in our behind-the-paper blogpost: go.nature.com/4a3V9q3
