I have a long list of pair of proteins, described by their uniprot code, in which to identify those pairs. Orthologs, paralogs and genome comparisons j peter gogarten. While orthologous genes kept the same function, paralogous genes often develop different functions due to missing selective pressure on one copy of the duplicated gene. Orthologs are genes in different species evolved from a common ancestral gene. Pdf evolutionary sequence analysis of complete eukaryote. The genes a1, b1, b2, c1, c2, and c3 have descended from the ancestral gene following evolutionary events of speciation and gene duplication. Orthologs are corresponding genes in different lineages and are a result of speciation, whereas paralogs result from a gene duplication. Put another way, the terms orthologous and paralogous describe the relationships between genetic sequence divergence and gene products associated with speciation or genetic duplication. Orthologs and paralogs we need to get it right genome. Diploidization definition is the act or process of diploidizing or the state of being diploidized.
In contrast, homologs whose evolution reflects gene duplication events are called paralogs. Orthology and paralogy are key concepts of evolutionary genomics. The original definition of orthologs is two genes from two different species that derive from a single gene. Orthologs, paralogs, and evolutionary genomics 1 request pdf. We also acknowledge previous national science foundation support under grant numbers 1246120, 1525057, and 14739. If the two daughter branches of a node contain the same species, it may be a gene duplication node, and the daughter.
