Example sentences for: paralogous

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

The conventional view, pioneered by Susumu Ohno, holds that a gene duplication produces two functionally redundant, paralogous genes and thereby frees one of them from selective constraints.
GenProtEC also contains imputed function assignments based on sequence similarity to orthologous or paralogous proteins, on gene (operon) location and on phenotypes of mutants [ 18].
This contrasts with observations of miRNAs in vertebrates, where the majority of known miRNAs are members of paralogous gene sets [ 31 ] . The most extreme examples of this disparity are let-7 and mir-29 , which are present in single copies in Drosophila , but are represented by thirteen and six distinct human homologs, respectively.
However, a principle of phylogenomics is that orthologous sequences (that diverged by speciation) are more likely to conserve protein function than paralogous sequences (that diverged by gene duplication).
In the archaeo-eukaryotic lineage, there is a duplication of the α-subunit, resulting in two paralogous subunits, RBP3 and RBP11.
