The eggNOG database is a database of biological information hosted by the EMBL. It is based on the original idea of COGs (clusters of orthologous groups)[2][3] and expands that idea to non-supervised orthologous groups constructed from numerous organisms.[1] The database was created in 2007[4] and updated to version 4.5 in 2015.[5] eggNOG stands for evolutionary genealogy of genes: Non-supervised Orthologous Groups.
