Hayai-Annotation: A functional gene prediction tool that integrates orthologs and gene ontology for network analysis in plant species by Andrea Ghelfi, Sachiko Isobe

“…We here propose a pipeline to explore genome evolution and adaptation from a different perspective, by creating a network considering orthologs and gene ontology as nodes, with edges based on the annotation for each gene. This approach aims to improve the visualization of conserved biological processes and functions, highlight species-specific adaptations, and enhance the ability to infer the functions of uncharacterized genes by comparing edge patterns across species. …”
