Sequence homology is the biological homology between DNA, RNA, or protein sequences, defined in terms of shared ancestry in the evolutionary history of life. Two segments of DNA can have shared ancestry because of three phenomena: either a speciation event (orthologs), or a duplication event (paralogs), or else a horizontal (or lateral) gene ...
Homology in psychology, as in biology, refers to a relationship between characteristics that reflects the characteristics' origins in either evolution or development. Homologous behaviors can theoretically be of at least two different varieties. [ 1 ]
A profile HMM modelling a multiple sequence alignment. HMMER is a free and commonly used software package for sequence analysis written by Sean Eddy. [2] Its general usage is to identify homologous protein or nucleotide sequences, and to perform sequence alignments.
Homology model of the DHRS7B protein created with Swiss-model and rendered with PyMOL. Homology modeling, also known as comparative modeling of protein, refers to constructing an atomic-resolution model of the "target" protein from its amino acid sequence and an experimental three-dimensional structure of a related homologous protein (the "template").
The human cyclophilin family, as represented by the structures of the isomerase domains of some of its members. A protein family is a group of evolutionarily related proteins.In many cases, a protein family has a corresponding gene family, in which each gene encodes a corresponding protein with a 1:1 relationship.
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is the process or the result of sequence alignment of three or more biological sequences, generally protein, DNA, or RNA. These alignments are used to infer evolutionary relationships via phylogenetic analysis and can highlight homologous features between sequences.
There needs to be some time with no obligations or responsibilities, said Dr. Emiliana Simon-Thomas, science director of the Greater Good Science Center — a research institute that studies the ...
Homology (psychology), behavioral characteristics that have common origins in either evolution or development Homologous behaviors , behaviors typical of species that share a common ancestor that was characterized by that behavior OR behaviors in an individual that share common origins in development
