Welcome on Selectome home page

Selectome is a database of positive selection based on a rigorous branch-site specific likelihood test. Positive selection is detected using CODEML on all branches of animal gene trees. The web interface of Selectome enables queries according both to the results of positive selection tests, and to gene related criteria. Test results including positively selected sites can be visualized on the tree, and on the protein sequence alignment.

The interface uses the multiple alignment viewer applet Jalview.

The current data are built from the TreeFam database version 7. We only use clean trees, from TreeFam-A families. Computations with data built from TreeFam-B 7 are currently under way.
