The aim of these websites is to foster the interest and curiosity of a public of all ages about the evolution of species, a fundamental but rather abstract topic.

Concrete questions are addressed: What do humans and banana have in common? Why is it important to study the evolution of coronaviruses? What is the link between tyrannosaurus and chicken? Oh My Genes is a meme generator designed to show the percentage of shared genes between humans and other species. The scientific data is computed based on orthologs in the OMA database.
