PhyloGenes is a web resource that displays pre-computed phylogenetic trees of gene families alongside experimental gene function data to facilitate inference of unknown gene function in plants.
PhyloGenes is managed by the nonprofit Phoenix Bioinformatics Corporation. It is co-developed by Phoenix Bioinformatics and the PANTHER project at University of Southern California, and is supported by funding provided by the National Science Foundation (Grant No. DBI-1661543).
Current release (version 1.2)
The gene family build has not changed in this release. The gene families and gene trees are pruned versions of PANTHER 14.1 release. They contain only genes from selected plant genomes and 10 non-plant model organisms. Genes from other genomes in the PANTHER build have been removed (pruned). More stats
What's new:
- Experimental gene function data have been updated. They were extracted using the QuickGO REST API (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/api/index.html) on 2019-10-25.
- Toggle to see multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of a gene family (more)
- Graft your sequence to an existing PhyloGenes gene family tree (for species not included in PhyloGenes) (more)
In the pipeline:
- 10 more plant genomes will be added to PhyloGenes gene families, including potato, cassava, oilseed rape, Eucalyptus grandis, Selaginella moellendorffii, among others
- Safari and Firefox browsers will be supported
