Welcome to OrthoSelect

Submit a new job, take a look the tutorial section with pre-calculated results, or make an analysis using the test data from the download section.

This website is an easy-accessible interface to the program "OrthoSelect". Simply enter your name and email address, change the programs default parameters - if you want, and upload your sequences.
OrthoSelect will then search your sequences for potential orthologs by comparing your sequences to a orthologous database. After the removal of paralogs, OrthoSelect outputs orthologous gene alignments.
Your will be informed via email when your results are ready.
This website then lets you explore your data providing many overviews and statistics.
Alternatively, you can simply download the results.

This website is free and open to all users and there is no login requirement.

The web interface inputs est sequences and programs parameters. It then computes orthologous gene alignments as described in the paper.
