Distribution of protein identities between pairs of homologous genes. Protein identity distribution was computed for pairs of homologs from BLASTP comparisons (see Methods) and plotted as a kernel density estimation plot. Average distributions for the nine yeast species analyzed were calculated in both cases of TGA members and other paralogous genes. All pairwise alignments between two species were performed for orthologs, but only the distributions calculated from three species were plotted as examples (the other ones showing a similar profile). KLTH: K. thermotolerans, ZYRO: Z. rouxii and SAKL: S. kluyveri.
