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

The PIF3 family currently consists of about eight paralogous proteins in Arabidopsis and an ortholog from rice.
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).
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].
Because genes with different functions evolve at different rates [ 24, 25], the observed relaxation of selection in paralogs could potentially be due to an over-representation of fast-evolving genes in the paralogous gene set.
We also present an in silico analysis of the genomic structure of NBC4 and evaluate conserved paralogous clustering of SLC4A genes with the members of the ankyrin, epidermal growth factor (EGF), and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) gene families in the human genome.
