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 of- OrthoMCLthat was made available by the author of the- orthomcl-pipeline(see below). There isn't much details on the ways this is different from the existing- OrthoMCL, but this is available here.
- orthmcl-pipelinemust also be installed, as this is how we will automate the- OrthoMCLprocess. Detailed information on this tool and its installation can be found [here](https
