I have 3 genomes A, B and C. I want to identify the common and unique orthologs among these genomes. can anyone suggests an window OS based solution please.

The relatedness of the organisms is also important. Some programs work better for closely related organisms, while others work better for organisms that are spread across kingdoms.

If by "unique orthologs", you mean 1:1 orthologs, it is simple: between each pair of genomes, find the reciprocal best blast hits (the best hit to gene A in species 1 is gene B in species 2 and vice versa) and then combine them. Finding non 1:1 orthologs is much harder.

If your species are in Ensembl, a simple solution is obtaining the list of orthologs using Compara API or BioMart. Otherwise you will need to search them, you can use a bi-directional blast approach like the one described here.

but what if i have 3 genomes. i am little bit confused. My genomes are not in Ensembl

you need to do the analysis in pairs, A-B, B-C and A-C, then simply combine the lists looking for the core genes shared between the 3 species, and unique genes in each set.

Hi, I did the same analysis on four species, used OrthoMCL software. and shell commands for 1:1 relationships. Please try to install and use OrthoMCL on unix based system. It is very easy and fast. Regards, Rahul

I know about OrthoMCL but I was looking for window alternatives. However thanks rahul

Unless you have some estimate of divergence time the exercise may not that informative anyway
