CarlosVivasR/OrthoGather: OrthoGather

A big update focused on making OrthoGather effortless to install and keeping its data fresh. ✨ Highlights One-click installers for macOS and Windows — no terminal, no setup knowledge. Download the file for your computer (below), double-click, and it installs everything: Python 3.11, OrthoFinder, and a Desktop app with the OrthoGather logo. Refreshed UniProt catalogue — 1,013,422 proteomes (UniProt release 2026_01) covering 161,743 species, with up-to-date EBI GOA links and per-proteome / per-GOA version stamps. The app checks for and applies catalogue updates automatically. No more Git LFS — the catalogue ships compressed (~20 MB) and unpacks itself on first launch. A plain git clone just works. Faster species picker — the 1-million-proteome catalogue loads ~20× lighter over the wire and search stays instant. Leaner install — removed unused dependencies. ⬇️ Install macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel): download Install OrthoGather.command, then right-click → Open. Windows 10/11: download Install OrthoGather.bat and double-click (it sets up WSL automatically; needs admin + one restart). A friendly step-by-step guide is in installers/How to install OrthoGather.html in the repo. The Windows installer is new in this release — feedback welcome via the issue tracker. Requirements: ~3 GB free space on macOS/Linux, ~5 GB on Windows (incl. WSL); 8 GB RAM recommended.
