I don't think the definition for paralogue is quite correct (unless it's one which I've not encountered). Surely paralogues are genes related by a duplication event in an ancestor, and are no longer necessarily on the same genome. (Deletion events in some descendants can even leave the situation looking like orthology. I realise that this isn't wikipedia, but the definition in its current state seems to be actually incorrect. But I'm not a geneticist, so this needs the attention of an expert? 2001:630:206:4001:3B49:6C28:F06:A55E 08:46, 14 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
