Homologies: Similarities in DNA or protein sequences between individuals of the same species or among different specie s.

 


mouse homologies and human DNA variants associated with the c-kit oncogene and pigmentary abnormalities [Maja Bucan (University of Pennsylvania) and Richard Spritz (University of Wisconsin)]; ...

the more homologies they share, and
the more similar these homologies are.
Until recent decades, the study of homologies was limited to ...

These repeats protect newly evolving gene sequences from being overwritten by gene conversion, due to the creation of non-homologies between otherwise homologous DNA sequences. The non-homologies create barriers to gene conversion.

Insulin is also a mitogen, has sequence homologies with other growth factors and is a frequent addition to cell culture media for demanding cell types.

Had they known about it they would have been very excited for this area provides the most compelling evidence of all for evolution. Just as the study of comparative anatomy has shown the presence of anatomical homologies, ...

Shared derived characters; homologies that evolved in an ancestor common to all species on one branch of a fork in a cladogram, but not common to species on the other branch.
