Diagram depicting evolutionary relationship between orthologs, in-paralogs and out-paralogs

Pair(s) of homologous genes shared between two species, but with a special evolutionary relationship. These are paralogs derived in the common ancestor of the two species. These gene may have sorted in different species through the loss of the reciprocal partner.
