Problems of macro- and microevolution remain key problems of biology. Phylostratigraphic analysis became one of the most popular methods for studying macroevolutionary characteristic of genes. It is based on estimation of the divergence time among orthologous genes. Along with methods of microevolutionary analysis (for example, dN/dS ratio estimation), phylostratigraphic methods are increasingly included into the methodological arsenal of evolutionary bioinformatics. There are some software packages used for computational analysis of the evolution by using different phylostratigraphic and microevolutionary indices, but they require users to know some additional software or programming languages. Here we present OrthoWeb software to calculate such indices using web browser only.

Phylostratigraphic analysis allows us to determine the \”age of the gene\” – evolutionary time of its origin. There are different methods to calculate this age, each of which has its own issues. In this work, we compare several studies on phylostrastigraphic analysis. The correlation coefficient of the results of two research with different phylostratigraphic trees but the same method to count phylostratigraphic age (BLAST-based) was found to be 0.76. Comparison of the results of calculating the phylostratigraphic age by Orthoscape application (used KEGG as data source) and the myTAI package (used BLAST as data source) showed a lower corellation coefficient – only 0.27. It is planned to continue the studying of differences in the results of different methods and their reasons.
