Sequences that presumably diverged as a result of gene duplication are paralogous.
#Id: 530
A gene family is defined as a group of genes that encode related or identical products as a result of gene-duplication events.
#Id: 531
Sequences that arose because of speciation are described as orthologous
#Id: 532
A mutation that confers a more advantageous phenotype to an organism, relative to individuals in the same population without the mutation, called as positive selection.
#Id: 533
Fold potential (measured in negative units) is high (more negative) in introns, and low (more positive) in exons.
