The role of homology and orthology in the phylogenomic analysis of metazoan gene content
W. Pett, M. Adamski, M. Adamska, W. R. Francis, M. Eitel, D. Pisani, G. Woerheide
The paper analyzes gene content in 26 animal genomes to show that gene conservation patterns differ based on orthology vs. homology definitions, suggesting new approaches are needed for resolving deep metazoan phylogeny.
