Definition of Homology, Orthology and Paralogy Homology is a term used when two genes share a common ancestor. The two genes are considered “homologous” or “not homologous” depending
Overall genome relatedness index (OGRI) is a term first coined by Chun & Rainey (2014) and represents any measurements indicating how similar two genome sequences
All potential orthologous protein-coding  genes (=CDSs) are clustered into non-redundant gene sets after pan-genome calculation to generate “Pan-genome Orthologous Groups (POGs)”. Obviously, a core part
OrthoANI (Orthologous Average Nucleotide Identity) is a kind of similarity values between two genome sequences. It is an improved version of the original ANI (Average
Microbiome taxonomic profiling (MTP) is a method to elucidate taxonomic composition of the complex microbial community. The currently available and widely used NGS platforms are
