De Novo, Divergence, and Mixed Origin Contribute to the Emergence of Orphan Genes in Pristionchus Nematodes
Homology is a fundamental concept in comparative biology. It is extensively used at the sequence level to make phylogenetic hypotheses and functional inferences. Nonetheless, the majority of eukaryotic genomes contain large numbers of orphan genes lacking homologs in other taxa. Generally, the fract...
