# OrthoDB - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `orthodb.org` ## Description OrthoDB is a leading brand in the field of computational biology, specializing in the hierarchical cataloging of orthologs across a wide spectrum of life forms, including eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and viruses. Its mission is to enable the transfer of functional knowledge from model organisms to humans, fostering an understanding of biology through the lens of gene mutation and ancestral lineage. The platform offers an extensive range of tools and services tailored for researchers, including comparative charts, interactive web interfaces, and robust APIs such as REST and SPARQL RDF, facilitating the mapping and analysis of user data. OrthoDB's unique approach allows users to recover gene functions by investigating the ancestry of gene families, emphasizing the connection between closely related species for refined gene orthology resolution. With a strong scientific advisory board and a commitment to advancing genomic knowledge, OrthoDB continues to serve as an invaluable resource for studies in evolutionary biology and genetics. For support and updates, users can connect via their mailing list or documentation resources. ## Industries - 🧪 Science and Education - 🧪 Biology _(under Science and Education)_ ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idmRTMG14O/w/345/h/124/theme/dark/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1734975923917) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Valencia | #dd4542 | accent | | Black | #000000 | dark | | White | #ffffff | light | --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
