How can you use “paralogous” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Pairwise comparisons of the K n /K s values for different clades revealed that the strength of selection was generally similar in bacterial, archaeal and eukaryotic sets of paralogous genes, although apparently stronger selection was observed among the yeast paralogs and weaker selection was seen in mammalian paralogs (Tables 1, 2).
In situ hybridization demonstrated that the transcript is localized in the principal cells, confirming its epithelial location, similar to that reported for the mouse [ 11 12 ] . It must be stressed that because the probes used in the hybridization were generated from the unique 3' UTR of SPAM1 cDNA the possibility of cross-hybridization to paralogous hyaluronidases is highly unlikely.
Indeed, evolution of a new beneficial function in one of the duplicates, once a relatively high level of divergence (which will be different for different genes, depending on the specific function involved) is reached, appears to be common among duplicated genes as demonstrated for several paralogous gene families [ 33, 52, 54, 67].
Gene conversion homogenizes paralogous sequences, retarding their divergence, and consequently obscuring their antiquity.
Members of a gene family that share a common ancestor as a result of a duplication event are denoted as being paralogous, distinguishing them from orthologous genes in different genomes, which share a common ancestor as a result of a speciation event.
