OrthoDB 12


Files from OrthoDB v.11 are still available at https://bioinf.uni-greifswald.de/bioinf/partitioned_odb11/.

We here provide clade-partioned files generated from OrthoDB v.12 for usage with BRAKER2 and BRAKER3. When using this data, please cite:

  • Stramenopiles.fa.gz (343 MB, md5sum: 865c11dd3d538db46a54a7b0f2f17f66, should be combined with proteins from another clade for BRAKER, or use Eukaryota.fa.gz)
  • Amoebozoa.fa.gz (48 MB, md5sum: 1c2a52daa3637f4a3ef085adb26559e1, should be combined with proteins from another clade for BRAKER, or use Eukaryota.fa.gz)
  • Euglenozoa.fa.gz (106 MB, md5sum: a64bfecfa1b33aee24ffe543368d26ee, should be combined with proteins from another clade for BRAKER, or use Eukaryota.fa.gz)

If none of the above listed partitions satisfies your needs, we also provide the larger Eukaryota.fa.gz (23 GB, md5sum: f356006a608f30e413cfcf1ab55698cb).

You need to unzip the files with "gunzip *.fa.gz" prior using them for genome annotation pipelines maintained by the team in Greifswald.

These partitioned OrthoDB files were prepared using software by Tomas Bruna: https://github.com/tomasbruna/orthodb-clades.
