OrthoMCL
is the leading piece of software for inferring orthologs across several organisms. In this tutorial I will provide detailed instructions for running a set of protein annotations through OrthoMCL
.
OrthoMCL
, and it's dependencies, must be installed. Detailed information on this tool and its installation can be found here. I actually used a slightly modified version ofOrthoMCL
that was made available by the author of theorthomcl-pipeline
(see below). There isn't much details on the ways this is different from the existingOrthoMCL
, but this is available here.orthmcl-pipeline
must also be installed, as this is how we will automate theOrthoMCL
process. Detailed information on this tool and its installation can be found [here](https
