HomoloGene Now Redirects to NCBI Datasets Gene
A new way to view and download related genes As previously announced, HomoloGene now automatically redirects to the NCBI Datasets Gene page giving you easy access to up-to-date sequence and homology data. The NCBI Datasets Gene Table provides a link to NCBI Orthologs with expanded gene and protein information and links to tools. NCBI Orthologs … Continue reading HomoloGene Now Redirects to NCBI Datasets Gene

New Way to View and Download Related Genes
Effective June 2023, the HomoloGene records will redirect to the Datasets Gene Table Do you use HomoloGene to view and download data? You can now access updated homology data from NCBI Datasets through the Datasets Gene Table with connections to NCBI Orthologs. Go directly from a HomoloGene record to the Datasets Gene Table that will … Continue reading New Way to View and Download Related Genes

Try out the latest BLAST ClusteredNR database results. Now with in-cluster analyses!
As we previously announced, we are offering a ClusteredNR protein database on the web BLAST service that provides faster searches, greater taxonomic reach, and easier to interpret results than the traditional nr database. We’ve added some new features to the results that make the ClusteredNR even more useful by allowing analyses within each cluster including … Continue reading Try out the latest BLAST ClusteredNR database results.

New ClusteredNR database: faster searches and more informative BLAST results
Reduced redundancy. Faster searches. More diverse proteins and organisms in your BLAST results. Check out our new ClusteredNR database – derived from the default BLAST protein nr database by clustering sequences at 90% identity / 90% length (details below). Get quicker results and access to information about distribution of your hits across a wider range … Continue reading New ClusteredNR database: faster searches and more informative BLAST results

The Datasets command-line tool now provides ortholog data
You can now get gene ortholog data using the NCBI Datasets command-line tool using a gene ID, gene symbol, or RefSeq nucleotide or protein accession. Data are available for vertebrates and insects. The vertebrate orthologs includes a specialized set for fish. (See our recent post for more information on the orthologs for fish and insects.) You … Continue reading The Datasets command-line tool now provides ortholog data

Orthologs Are A-Swimming and A-Buzzing in RefSeq!
Previously we wrote about improvements to Drosophila annotations in RefSeq. We’re excited to report that we’re also improving how we compute and report orthology data for fish and insects to help you find evolutionarily related genes across species. Currently when … Continue reading

A new way to find an expanded set of similar genes
We recently showed you a new a way to search for and view sets of orthologous genes from vertebrates. You can now get an additional set of search results that we are calling similar genes. These are related through protein architecture … Continue reading

Searching for orthologous genes at NCBI
NCBI is testing a new way to find and retrieve orthologous vertebrate genes. To find orthologs enter a gene symbol (e.g. RAG1) or a gene symbol combined with a taxonomic group (e.g. primate RAG1). Select the matching entry from the … Continue reading
