Pandagma: a tool for identifying pan-gene sets and gene families at desired evolutionary depths and accommodating whole-genome duplications.

ABSTRACT:

Summary

Identification of allelic or corresponding genes (pan-genes) within a species or genus is important for discovery of biologically significant genetic conservation and variation. Similarly, identification of orthologs (gene families) across wider evolutionary distances is important for understanding the genetic basis for similar or differing traits. Especially in plants, several complications make identification of pan-genes and gene families challenging, including whole-genome duplications, evolutionary rate differences among lineages, and varying qualities of assemblies and annotations. Here, we document and distribute a set of workflows that we have used to address these problems.
