Tracing the molecular and evolutionary determinants of novel functions in protein families

This thesis explores the limits of homology-based inference of protein function and evolution, where overall similarity between sequences can be a poor indicator of functional similarity or evolutionary relationships. Each case presented has undergone different patterns of evolutionary change due to...
