Article Abstract
OrthoDB (https://www.orthodb.org) offers evolutionary and functional annotations of orthologous genes in the widest sampling of eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and viruses, extending experimental gene function knowledge to newly sequenced genomes. We collect gene annotations, delineate hierarchical gene orthology and annotate the orthologous groups (OGs) with functional and evolutionary traits. OrthoDB is the leading resource for species diversity, striving to sample the most diverse and well-researched organisms with the highest quality genomic data. This update expands to include 5827 eukaryotic genomes. We have also added coding DNA sequences (CDSs) and gene loci coordinates. OrthoDB can be browsed, downloaded, or accessed using REST API, SPARQL/RDF and now also via API packages for Python and R Bioconductor. OrthoLoger (https://orthologer.ezlab.org), the tool used for inferring orthologs in OrthoDB, is now available as a Conda package and through BioContainers. ODB-mapper, a component of OrthoLoger, streamlines annotation of genes from newly sequenced genomes with OrthoDB evolutionary and functional descriptors. The benchmarking sets of universal single-copy orthologs (BUSCO), derived from OrthoDB, had correspondingly a major update. The BUSCO tool (https://busco.ezlab.org) has become a standard in genomics, uniquely capable of assessing both eukaryotic and prokaryotic species. It is applicable to gene sets, transcriptomes, genome assemblies and metagenomic bins.

Hayai-Annotation, an annotation tool powered by the R-shinydashboard browser interface, implements a workflow that integrates sequence alignment using DIAMOND against UniProtKB Plants and ortholog inference using OrthoLoger. We here propose a pipeline to explore genome evolution and adaptation from a different perspective, by creating a network considering orthologs and gene ontology as nodes, with edges based on the annotation for each gene. This approach aims to improve the visualization of conserved biological processes and functions, highlight species-specific adaptations, and enhance the ability to infer the functions of uncharacterized genes by comparing edge patterns across species.

The identification of orthologous genes is relevant for comparative genomics, phylogenetic analysis, and functional annotation. There are many computational tools for the prediction of orthologous groups as well as web-based resources that offer orthology datasets for download and online analysis. This chapter presents a simple and practical guide to the process of orthologous group prediction, using a dataset of 10 prokaryotic proteomes as example.

Article Synopsis
- - The European green woodpecker (Picus viridis) has a newly assembled genome that is 1.28 billion base pairs long, created using advanced sequencing techniques.
- - This genome assembly captures 89.4% of known bird genes, containing 15,805 genes and around 30.1% repetitive elements, offering a detailed genetic profile of the species.
- - Comparisons with the chicken genome reveal the fragmented structure of the woodpecker's genome, and additional resequencing of historical and contemporary samples aims to enhance understanding of the species' population history.
