Facts and Figures about the OMA Orthologs Project

Aligning all sequences in each of the 1009 genomes currently in the orthologs project against all sequences in each other genome is an essential but also enormous task. Over 300 CPUs are working around the clock (see this page for statistics about CPU usage). So far, 10.72 trillion (10¹²) alignments have been computed, of which 5.90 billion (10⁹) were considered significant (score >130) and have been stored for further use in the OMA project. This webpage displays some statistics about those collected alignments.
