AlgaeOrtho, a bioinformatics tool for processing ortholog inference results in algae.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Microalgae constitute a prominent feedstock for producing biofuels and biochemicals by virtue of their prolific reproduction, high bioproduct accumulation, and the ability to grow in brackish and saline water. However, naturally occurring wild type algal strains are rarely optimal for industrial use; therefore, bioengineering of algae is necessary to generate superior performing strains that can address production challenges in industrial settings, particularly the bioenergy and bioproduct sectors. One of the crucial steps in this process is deciding on a bioengineering target: namely, which gene/protein to differentially express. These targets are often orthologs which are defined as genes/proteins originating from a common ancestor in divergent species. Although bioi
