possibility of sharing shoot database #1

Closed Maarten-vd-Sande closed 2 years ago

Hi David,

I'm working on a project where we want to know the gene lineage for all genes for multiple species. I was planning to set up a workflow in combination with orthofinder (awesome tool btw!). But I thought before I try that, maybe it's possible to get access to the shoot.bio database instead? I'm not sure if an API for shoot.bio exists?

My use case would be that I have the gene names of e.g. zebrafish, and I want to know the "age" and the most distant species with an ortholog of each gene (all domains of life).

Thanks in advance

Hi Maarten, sorry for the delay here, you caught me in the middle of preparing the response to reviewers for the SHOOT manuscript. I've sent a reply to your email.

All the best David
