About Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COGs)
The Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COGs) of proteins were generated by comparing the protein sequences of complete genomes. Each cluster contains proteins or groups of paralogs from at least three lineages. The current COG database contains both prokaryotic and eukaryotic clusters.
Content
The COGs database contains Clusters from both Unicellular and Eukaryotic Organisms. There are currently 66 Unicellular organisms and can be found here. The eukaryotic organisms are limited to seven organisms: Arabidopsis thaliana, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophilia melanogaster, Homo Sapiens, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Encephalitozoon cuniculi.
