Vaccines have saved 6 lives every minute since 1974.
Thank you, @VilleDeGeneve, for marking the beginning of #WorldImmunizationWeek.
It’s time to show the world that immunization for all is #HumanlyPossible.

The PAN-GO paper is a remarkable milestone. It not only provides the most comprehensive picture of human gene function to date, but also carefully maps this knowledge across the tree of life! Congratulations Marc Feuermann, Pascale Gaudet et al!

How it works? FastOMA uses
1️⃣A fast k-mer based placement for clustering homologous genes,
2️⃣Highly parallelized, taxonomy-guided processing of gene family.
Read more on FastOMA in our behind-the-paper blogpost: go.nature.com/4a3V9q3
