Special BiB issue on "Orthology and Applications"

 An special issue on "Orthology and Applications"  is out in the journal Briefings in Bioinformatics.

 This special issue has been edited by Christophe Dessimoz and comprises a number of interesting papers including several comprehensive reviews and also original research articles. Some of the papers emerge from efforts on orthology benchmarking and standardization of datasets that were initiated during the first "Quest for Orthologs meeting" in 2009. See this letter reporting from that meeting. We contributed with an article reporting on the comparison of expression patterns between across-species orthologs and paralogs of a similar evolutionary age.
