New Release with 1544 Species

Dear OMA users,

we are pleased to announce a new OMA release covering 1544 genomes. For this release we added 58 Fungi genomes and 2 new animals, i.e. the European domestic ferret and the Southern platyfish.
In this release we updated again all the common model organisms and most genomes from Ensembl (v70).

From this release on, we provide also crosslinks to protein structures via Protein Model Portal (a protal which provides access to various experimenatal and modeled protein structures).

As usual, the data of the previous releases is still available for download.

Moving to new releae

Dear OMA users,

on Monday, Aug 12, we will switch to a new release of the OMA browser. This will interrupt the service for a couple of hours. We apologize for the inconveniences this may cause.

Regards,
Adrian

OMA Service back

Dear OMA users,

the maintenance work have been successfully finished. The OMA Browser service is operating again normally. Sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused.

OMA downtime

Our datacenter is currently down for maintenance work. It should be back up late afternoon on May 6th.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. 

Kind regards

Adrian

Service back to normal

Dear OMA users,

the network problems seem to be solved. The service is operating again normally. Sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused.

OMA currently not reachable due to network problems

All of ETH is currently experiencing site-wide network problems due to issues with the firewall. People are working to solve it. Sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.

New Release with 1320 species

We have finished the computation of a new OMA release including now orthologs among 1320 genomes. Besides 116 new genomes (including metazoans such as the atlantic cod, the ant and chinese softshell turtle) we again have updated many important eukaryotes, i.e. C. elegans, fruit fly, mouse, dog, pig, chimpanzee, honeybee and the rabbit genomes.

From this release on, we slightly adapt our orthology inference pipeline. Now, we do no longer test whether genes from species belonging to different kingdoms are apparent orthologs because of differential gene loss (our "witness of non-orthology" verification step). The rational for this decision is that the necessary duplication event must have happend prior to the speciation event of the two species in question, i.e. before LUCA, and hence these cases are not very reliable witnesses.

The data of the previous release is still available in the OMA Browser Archive for download.
