Abstract
OrthoMCL is an algorithm for grouping proteins into ortholog groups based on their sequence similarity. OrthoMCL?DB is a public database that allows users to browse and view ortholog groups that were pre?computed using the OrthoMCL algorithm. Version 4 of this database contained 116,536 ortholog groups clustered from 1,270,853 proteins obtained from 88 eukaryotic genomes, 16 archaean genomes, and 34 bacterial genomes. Future versions of OrthoMCL?DB will include more proteomes as more genomes are sequenced. Here, we describe how you can group your proteins of interest into ortholog clusters using two different means provided by the OrthoMCL system. The OrthoMCL?DB Web site has a tool for uploading and grouping a set of protein sequences, typically representing a proteome. This method maps the uploaded proteins to existing groups in OrthoMCL?DB. Alternatively, if you have proteins from a set of genomes that need to be grouped, you can download, install, and run the stand?alone OrthoMCL software. Curr. Protoc.

Figure 6.12.1 Overview of the OrthoMCL algorithm. (1) Proteomes must each be in FASTA format where the file name and definition lines comply with simple requirements. (2) The proteome files are filtered to remove low‐quality sequences based on length and percent stop codons. (3) The proteomes are all compared to each other using BLASTP. They are masked with seg and an e‐value cutoff of 1e‐5 is applied. (4) For each pair of sequences that match, compute the “percent match length” score: count the number of amino acids in the shorter sequence that participate in any HSP, divide that by the length of the shorter sequence, and multiply by 100. Filter away matches with percent match < 50%. (5) For all pairs of proteomes, find all pairs of proteins across them that have hits as good as or better than any other hits between these proteins and other proteins in those species. (6) Find all pairs of proteins within a species that have mutual e‐values that are better than or equal to all of those proteins' hits to proteins in other species. (7) Find all pairs of proteins across two species that are connected through orthology and in‐parology. (8) Normalize in‐paralog e‐values by averaging all qualifying in‐paralog pairs in a genome and divide each pair by the average. Within a genome, in‐paralog pairs qualify if either of the proteins in the pair has an ortholog in any genome. If no in‐paralogs within a genome have any orthologs, all in‐paralogs in that genome qualify. Normalize ortholog and co‐ortholog pairs for any two species by averaging the e‐values across them, and normalize using that average. (9) Pass on all ortholog, in‐paralog, and co‐ortholog pairs, with their normalized e‐values, to the MCL program for clustering. View Image -
