Resolving the ortholog conjecture: orthologs tend to be weakly, but significantly, more similar in function than paralogs.
The function of most proteins is not determined experimentally, but is extrapolated from homologs. According to the "ortholog conjecture", or standard model of phylogenomics, protein function changes rapidly after duplication, leading to paralogs with different functions, while orthologs retain the...
