HORIZONTAL ORTHOLOGS. “Most bacterial genome sequences reveal an abundance of paralogs which are often viewed as products of within-lineage duplication and divergence. However, many must be the result of the reuniting through horizontal gene transfer of orthologs that have diverged in separate lineages. Recognizing this encourages a rethinking of standard models of gene duplication and divergence.”
