Orthologous gene identification is fundamental to all aspects of biology. For example, ortholog identification between species can provide functional insights for genes of unknown function and is a necessary step in phylogenetic inference. Currently, most ortholog identification algorithms require all-versus-all BLAST comparisons, which are time-consuming and memory intensive.
