More info Welcome This is the site of the Quest for Orthologs consortium. Proteins and functional modules are evolutionarily conserved even between distantly related species, and allow knowledge transfer between well-characterized model organisms and human. The underlying biological concept is called ‘Orthology’ and the identification of gene relationships is the basis for comparative studies. text/html 2026-03-25T10:19:52+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://questfororthologs.org/meetings?rev=1774433992&do=diff Meetings Quest for Orthologs 9 * Location: Lausanne, Switzerland. * Dates: Aug 29-30, 2026 (before ECCB) * Chair of organizing committee : Natasha Glover (SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics ) * Submission deadline: May 15th 2026 * Website: text/html 2023-11-24T11:57:24+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://questfororthologs.org/orthology_databases?rev=1700827044&do=diff List of orthology databases If you know of any other database, please edit this page directly or contact us.
