Microbial ortholog gene clustering using real-dataset
Once we assembled and annotated bacterial genomes, next step after inferring phylogeny usually is to finding and clustering orthologous genes. What are orthologs? Well, Genetics 101 tells us that they are genes evolutionary shared between multiple taxa descended from common ancestors. That means a series of (pretty-much) reliable replications and cell division passed between these…
