Novel human SLC4A9 paralogs may be predicted on the basis of the genomic locations of the EGF-FGF clusters.
Therefore, we carried out a relative rate test on amino-acid substitutions [ 15] on those pairs of paralogs, for which an ortholog was available that was more distant from either of the paralogs than the paralogs were from each other (orthologs that were too distant to be used for the relative rate test were discarded; see Materials and methods).
In Bacillus subtilis the gene, appropriately enough, has been named aroA, but in Escherichia coli the equivalent function is represented by genes encoding three differentially regulated paralogs.
Likewise, Npu TrpD_2 and Npu TrpD_3 exhibit greater identity with their Asp orthologs than with their Npu paralogs.
In all genomes analyzed, the nonsynonymous substitution rate was significantly lower than the synonymous substitution rate, such that K n /K s << 1 (Figure 1a,band Table 1), in agreement with the recent genome-wide study of paralogs [ 21].
