Abstract
Orthologs and paralogs are two fundamentally different types of homologous genes that evolved, respectively, by vertical descent from a single ancestral gene and by duplication. Orthology and paralogy are key concepts of evolutionary genomics. A ...Read More

Accurate prediction of orthologs in the presence of divergence after duplication
Abstract Motivation When gene duplication occurs, one of the copies may become free of selective pressure and evolve at an accelerated pace. This has important consequences on t...
Reconstruction of monocotelydoneous proto-chromosomes reveals faster evolution in plants than in animals
Paleogenomics seeks to reconstruct ancestral genomes from the genes of today's species. The characterization of paleo-duplications represented by 11,737 orthologs and 4,382 para...
Identification of mammalian orthologs using local synteny
Abstract Background Accurate determination of orthology is central to comparative genomics. For vertebrates in particular, very large gene families, high rates of gene duplicati...
Evidence of en bloc duplication in vertebrate genomes
It has been 30 years since it was first proposed that the vertebrate genome evolved through several rounds of genome-wide duplications (polyploidizations). Despite rapid advance...

Whole-genome duplication produces massive duplicated blocks in plant genomes. Sharing appreciable sequence similarity, duplicated blocks may have been affected by illegitimate r...
