  2. Sequence homology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_homology

    Top: An ancestral gene duplication produces two paralogs (histone H1.1 and 1.2). A speciation event produces orthologs in the two daughter species (human and chimpanzee). Bottom: in a separate species , a gene has a similar function (histone-like nucleoid-structuring protein) but has a separate evolutionary origin and so is an analog.

  3. Homology (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homology_(biology)

    The term "ortholog" was coined in 1970 by the molecular evolutionist Walter Fitch. [41] Homologous sequences are paralogous if they were created by a duplication event within the genome. For gene duplication events, if a gene in an organism is duplicated, the two copies are paralogous. They can shape the structure of whole genomes and thus ...

  4. Cellular homology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_homology

    The fundamental polygon of is a -gon which gives a CW-structure with one 2-cell, 1-cells, and one 0-cell. The 2-cell is attached along the boundary of the -gon, which contains every 1-cell twice, once forwards and once backwards. This means the attaching map is zero, since the forwards and backwards directions of each 1-cell cancel out.

  5. Gene duplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_duplication

    It is important (but often difficult) to differentiate between paralogs and orthologs in biological research. Experiments on human gene function can often be carried out on other species if a homolog to a human gene can be found in the genome of that species, but only if the homolog is orthologous. If they are paralogs and resulted from a gene ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_theory

    From these conclusions about plants and animals, two of the three tenets of cell theory were postulated. 1. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells 2. The cell is the most basic unit of life. Schleiden's theory of free cell formation through crystallization was refuted in the 1850s by Robert Remak, Rudolf Virchow, and Albert ...

    Simple interest vs. compound interest Simple interest refers to the interest you earn on your principal balance only. Let's say you invest $10,000 into an account that pays 3% in simple interest.

  8. Synteny - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synteny

    In Hyphomicrobiales and Enterobacteriales, syntenic genes encode a large number of essential cell functions and represent a high level of functional relationships. [ 15 ] Patterns of shared synteny or synteny breaks can also be used as characters to infer the phylogenetic relationships among several species, and even to infer the genome ...
