Introduction

OrthoMCL is a genome-scale algorithm for grouping orthologous protein sequences. 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 archaeal genomes and 34 bacterial genomes. Future versions of OrthoMCL-DB will include more proteomes as more genomes are sequenced. The OrthoMCL-DB website has a tool for uploading and grouping a set of protein sequences, typically representing a proteome.
