Web tool: We developed a web tool named ORTHOSCOPE to identify orthogroups of specific molecules within major bilaterian lineages. ORTHOSCOPE allows users to employ several sequences of a specific molecule and a user-specified species tree as queries. A test analysis using data from 36 bilaterians was accomplished within 140 seconds. ORTHOSCOPE is freely available at https://github.com/jun-inoue/orthoscope (last accessed 2 October 2019).

Data: ORTHOSCOPE employs a genome-scale protein-coding gene database (coding and amino acid sequence datasets) constructed for each species. In order to count numbers of orthologs in each species, only the longest sequence is used when transcript variants exist for single locus.
