We used chromosome 19 as the model to test this hypothesis by comparing the cDNA library profiles of spatially adjacent paralogous genes.
In the archaeo-eukaryotic lineage, there is a duplication of the α-subunit, resulting in two paralogous subunits, RBP3 and RBP11.
Finally, the high level of similarity among the C-terminal regions of all paralogous yCCR4-related proteins, along with the divergence of their N-terminal domains, is intriguing in terms of phylogenetic evolution.
Paralogous genes can often be found clustered within a genome, although dispersed paralogues, often with more diverse functions, are also common.
