Database Profile

InParanoiDB 9

General information

URL: https://inparanoidb.sbc.su.se
Full name:
Description: InParanoiDB is a database containing groups of orthologs and inparalogs for 640 species. The InParanoid algorithm was originally developed at the Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics to address the need to identify orthologs. Homologs that originate from a speciation event are called orthologs and homologs that originate from a gene duplication event are called paralogs.

InParanoiDB 9: Ortholog Groups for Protein Domains and Full-Length Proteins. [PMID: 36764355]
Emma Persson, Erik L L Sonnhammer

Prediction of orthologs is an important bioinformatics pursuit that is frequently used for inferring protein function and evolutionary analyses. The InParanoid database is a well known resource of ortholog predictions between a wide variety of organisms. Although orthologs have historically been inferred at the level of full-length protein sequences, many proteins consist of several independent protein domains that may be orthologous to domains in other proteins in a way that differs from the full-length protein case. To be able to capture all types of orthologous relations, conventional full-length protein orthologs can be complemented with orthologs inferred at the domain level. We here present InParanoiDB 9, covering 640 species and providing orthologs for both protein domains and full-length proteins. InParanoiDB 9 was built using the faster InParanoid-DIAMOND algorithm for orthology analysis, as well as Domainoid and Pfam to infer orthologous domains. InParanoiDB 9 is based on proteomes from 447 eukaryotes, 158 bacteria and 35 archaea, and includes over one billion predicted ortholog groups. A new website has been built for the database, providing multiple search options as well as visualization of groups of orthologs and orthologous domains. This release constitutes a major upgrade of the InParanoid database in terms of the number of species as well as the new capability to operate on the domain level. InParanoiDB 9 is available at https://inparanoidb.sbc.su.se/.
