As the framework for this analysis, we used the database of clusters of orthologous groups (COGs) of proteins [ 18, 19], which contains sets of orthologous proteins and domains from complete microbial genomes (32 genomes at the time of this analysis; see Materials and methods).
If the fusion events either occurred independently of each other or were vertically inherited, perhaps followed by fission in some lineages, the distribution of the fusion components in the phylogenetic trees for the orthologous clusters to which they belong is expected to mimic the distribution of the species carrying the fusion in the species tree.
Because we restricted our gene comparisons to cases in which the synonymous divergence rate (K s ) did not exceed 0.5 substitutions per site, a substantial part of the human-rodent orthologous comparisons was excluded from the analysis (Figure 1d).
The sequence mapped to regions on chromosomes 1, 1 and 13 in human, mouse and rat, respectively and we have assembled the orthologous sequences from human, mouse, rat and Fugu (figure 12).
For orthologous proteins, it is expected that they will form monophyletic clades without any intervening paralogs or proteins from distantly related species.
