Sequence comparison identifies phylogeny-specific, paralogy-specific, and orthology-specific conserved motifs in sequences

Multiple alignment of homolog sequences of and genes of different vertebrate species was carried out. The phylogenetic tree on the left side represents the evolutionary relationship of the vertebrates. Species in blue correspond to of genes, and those in red to of genes. Dark blue boxes depict the conserved motifs, present in both and genes. Light-blue boxes mark motifs present only in genes.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Functional diversification paralog enhancers identified by phylogenomic reconstruction"</p><p>http://genomebiology.com/2007/8/6/R106</p><p>Genome Biology 2007;8(6):R106-R106.</p><p>Published online 8 Jun 2007</p><p>PMCID:PMC2394741.</p><p>
