Orthoscape

Orthoscape aimed to analyze evolutionary information in the gene networks and gene sets
Orthoscape is a Cytoscape application aimed to perform evolutionary analysis of gene networks and visualize the results. Orthoscape can perform the following actions either for a gene network/metabolic pathway or simple set of genes: 1) Calculate evolutionary indices for every gene and analyze distributions of these indices in a network: a) Phylostratigraphic Age Index (PAI). PAI indicates the evolutionary age of a gene by searching the last common ancestor for a species representing the original gene and every species representing the orthologous genes; b) Divergency index (DI). DI reflects the influence of natural selection on gene evolution. It is based on Ka/Ks (dN/dS) ratio between gene and every ortholog. To calculate Ka/Ks we use KaKs Calcultor and PAML. 2) Group genes into clusters according to their homology level calculated using a) Nucleotide sequences identity value; b) Smith-Waterman's algorithm score; c) Similarity of protein domains. 3) Rearrange/layout/color gene networks and metabolic pathways according to evolutionary indices PAI and DI as well as homology groups. The Orthoscape input is either data from KEGG/Pathway Commons pathway databases or result from network reconstruction plugin GeneMANIA.

Release Notes

DI counted with PAML now based on 2 different columns. 1) Column "PAML" contains mathematically correct Ka/Ks data (Ks != 0) 2) Column "PAML extended" contains specific data. a) If both Ka and Ks are equal to 0 (0/0, indetermination case) the column contains 100 for every ortholog. b) If only Ks is equal to 0 (N/0, infinity case) the column contains 10000 for every ortholog. It is still only first glance on Ka/Ks. DI analysis for every pair gene-ortholog with all PAML measures can be found in output PAML directory

1.107

Works with Cytoscape 3.0

Release Notes

Removed an option to count orthology groups for genes in the same network since it have no real biological use cases. Temporally removed grouping option because of group view problems after new Cytoscape release.
