OrthoXML-Tools: A Toolkit for Manipulating OrthoXML Files for Orthology Data
摘要
The OrthoXML file is a standard file format for orthology data. It provides a standardized structure for describing orthologous and paralogous relationships while allowing the user to store custom and database-specific data in the same format. Although many orthology databases use it as a way to export data, there is no comprehensive toolkit for working with this format. Here, we introduce the OrthoXML-tools (https://github.com/DessimozLab/orthoxml-tools), a comprehensive toolkit for loading, manipulating, and exporting the OrthoXML files to other formats. We show its capabilities and performance on our benchmarks.
