Phylogenomics: improving functional predictions for uncharacterized
... Improvements in database search programs have made the identification of likely homologs much faster, easier, and more reliable (Altschul et al. 1997; Henikoff et al. 1998). However, as discussed above, in many cases the identification of homologs is not sufficient to make specific functional predic ...
