This is in general agreement with analyses of orthologous protein pairs, which showed that dipteran pairs had a higher rate of divergence than did fish/human pairs [ 51 ] . Since it may be argued that the selective environmental pressures are more different between these sequenced vertebrates, it may be that the relatively high rate of divergence in Diptera is a consequence of their shorter generation times.
The COG database [ 62, 63] was used as a source of information on orthologous relationships between proteins.
The species compared here, S. cerevisiae and S. pombe , are much more closely related than S. cerevisiae and C. elegans , and orthologous proteins are likely to be more reliably inferred between the closely related genomes.
The result of this procedure is a conservative selection of orthologous pairs because the cases of lineage-specific duplication that result in non-symmetrical BeTs are excluded and so are orthologous pairs with very low sequence similarity.
6. For each sequence s in the gene tree (except Q ): Count the number of gene trees where s is orthologous to Q (see Figure 6for an illustration of steps 5. and 6.).
