Large-Scale Taxonomic Profiling of Eukaryotic Model Organisms: A Comparison of Orthologous Proteins Encoded by the Human, Fly, Nematode, and Yeast Genomes
Open accessAbstract
Comparisons of DNA and protein sequences between humans and model organisms, including the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, are a significant source of information about the function of human genes and proteins in both normal and disease states. Important questions regarding cross-species sequence comparison remain unanswered, including (1) the fraction of the metabolic, signaling, and regulatory pathways that is shared by humans and the various model organisms; and (2) the validity of functional inferences based on sequence homology. We addressed these questions by analyzing the available fractions of human, fly, nematode, and yeast genomes for orthologous protein-coding genes, applying strict criteria to distinguish between candidate orthologous and paralogous proteins. Forty-two quartets of proteins could be identified as candidate orthologs. Twenty-four Drosophila protein sequences were more similar to their human orthologs than the corresponding nematode proteins. Analysis of sequence substitutions and evolutionary distances in this data set revealed that most C. elegans genes are evolving more rapidly than Drosophila genes, suggesting that unequal evolutionary rates may contribute to the differences in similarity to human protein sequences. The available fraction of Drosophila proteins appears to lack representatives of many protein families and domains, reflecting the relative paucity of genomic data from this species.

The seven genes were chosen because they had previously been shown to support the monophyly of Ecdysozoa or did not significantly support an alternative arrangement and/or had shown potential clock-like behavior.
“These genes were chosen because they had previously been shown to support the monophyly of Ecdysozoa or did not significantly support an alternative arrangement (9, 22) and ∕ or had shown potential clock-like behavior (23).”
From Estimating metazoan divergence times with a molecular clock (2004) · cites this paper as [22]
In “Different Proteins Generate Different Phylogenetic Tree Topologies” (page unavailable), the paper reports that 11 protein alignments support tree B, the Ecdysozoa arrangement. It does not identify the citing authors’ seven genes or establish that those particular genes supported Ecdysozoa or failed to significantly support an alternative. The clock-like-behavior clause is attached to citation 23, not this source. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
