Thrilled to share our new Genome Biology and Evolution paper! Here, we study the associations between evolutionary shifts in #torpor across placental mammals and changes in individual protein-coding #genes. 1/7 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag216

The #TOGA2 preprint is now at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6.... Describes the new method and the comparative genomics resource (annotations, orthologs, gene losses/dups, retrogenes and more) generated using a total of 9420 TOGA2 runs for 2173 vertebrate genome assemblies.

Accurate, comprehensive gene annotation and ortholog identification across thousands of vertebrate genomes with TOGA2

Inferring orthologs and annotating coding genes remain central challenges in genomics, evident by the growing gap between assembled and annotated genomes. TOGA (Tool to infer Orthologs from Genome Ali...

Happy to present TOGA2, developed by Yury Malovichko @ymalovichko.bsky.social, the faster, memory-efficient & more accurate TOGA1 successor (github.com/hillerlab/TO...). And annotations, orthologs & gene loss/dup data generated with 4 references for 883 placental mammal and with 5 refs for 676 ...
