OrthoParaMap: Distinguishing orthologs from paralogs by integrating comparative genome data and gene phylogenies

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In eukaryotic genomes, most genes are members of gene families. When comparing genes from two species, therefore, most genes in one species will be homologous to multiple genes in the second. This often makes it difficult to distingu...
