Summary:
i-ADHoRe is a software tool that combines gene content and gene order information of homologous genomic segments into profiles to detect highly degenerated homology relations within and between genomes. The new version offers, besides a significant increase in performance, several optimizations to the algorithm, most importantly to the profile alignment routine. As a result, the annotations of multiple genomes, or parts thereof, can be fed simultaneously into the program, after which it will report all regions of homology, both within and between genomes.
Availability:
The i-ADHoRe 2.0 package contains the C++ source code for the main program as well as various Perl scripts and a fully documented Perl API to facilitate post-processing. The software runs on any Linux- or -UNIX based platform. The package is freely available for academic users and can be downloaded from http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/

Gene Duplication and Divergence
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are characterized.
