What's New

Updates made to Ortholuge and the Ortholuge website will be reported here.

26th July 2006: Tentative Human Consensus sequence IDs corrected

It was discovered that the outgroup's Tentative Human Consensus (THC) sequence ID numbers in the file: EGO_R8_mouse_rat_human_ortholuge_tabbed.out from Manuscript Supplemental Data were missing their last digit. The THC sequence ID numbers have been corrected. Correct THC ID numbers were obtained from the EGO release 8 database, by searching for the TIGR Orthology Group (TOG) that contained the THC sequence and then looking up the corresponding ID for the sequence within that TOG.

2nd June 2006: Compatible versions of Muscle, EMBOSS and PHYLIP mirrored on the Ortholuge download page

We have mirrored Muscle 3.6, EMBOSS 3.0.0 and PHYLIP 3.6b on the Ortholuge download page. These versions have been tested for compatibility with Ortholuge and we recommend that you use these versions with the Ortholuge 0.8 package. The document INSTALL.txt on the Ortholuge download page has also been updated to mention this change.

1st June 2006: Version 0.8 of the Ortholuge package released

The Ortholuge 0.8 package addresses a bug found in Muscle 3.6. Muscle 3.6 no longer by default directs output to stdout. To correct for this, an argument explicity directing output to /dev/stdout has been added to the Muscle command in the ortholuge-align.pl script. Ortholuge 0.8 is available for download from the Ortholuge download page.
