Definition of: Paralog, Ortholog, Homolog

The term “homolog“ may apply to the relationship between genes separated by speciation (ortholog), OR to the relationship between genes originating via genetic duplication (see paralog). Ortholog: Orthologs are genes in different species that have evolved from a common ancestral gene via speciation #genetics #Orthologs #homolog #paralog #gene #HomologsOrthologsAndParalogs #homologsVsOrthologs #homologsVsParalogsVsOrthologs #paralogsVsOrthologs #paralogsVsHomologs #paralogsOrthologsAndHomologs #paralogsVsOrthologsExamples #paralogsGene #analogsAndHomologs #homologousVsAnalogousGenes #paralogousVsOrthologousGenes #paralogousVsOrthologous #homologousVsAnalogous #orthologousAndParalogousGenes #orthologousVsParalogous #orthologousVsHomologous
