What is EvolClustDB?

EvolClustDB is a public and browsable database of evolutionarily conserved gene clusters pre-computed with the EvolClust algorithm. This algorithm identifies groups of neighboring genes whose proximity is significantly conserved across evolution compared to the genome average. This prediction is performed pairwise in and all against all comparisons of genomes of interest, and then clusters are grouped into multi-species families. Visualization allows inspecting gene order per species in a phylogenetic context, enabling inference of potential evolutionary events. EvolclustDB provides gene cluster visualization through PhyD3.
