Evolutionary Biologist have been long looking for ways of predicting orthology between different sequences. The evolutionary relationship between sequences has been of importance for annotating new genomes. So far the tools that have been developed are not very easy to work with. Recently, Iwasaki W et. al. (2019) have developed a new tool called SonicParanoid.
SonicParanoid is a very fast and easy to use tool. The documentation and the python package is available at the following URL.http://iwasakilab.bs.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/sonicparanoid
