    • The society of genes: networks of functional links between genes from comparative genomics

    Metadata Updated: September 6, 2025

    Comparative genomics provides at least three methods for identifying functional links between genes: examination of phylogenetic distributions, analysis of conserved proximity and observations of fusions of genes into a multidomain gene in another organism. We show that the functional networks obtained by applying these methods have different topologies and that the information they provide is largely additive. In particular, the combined networks of functional links contain an average of 57% of an organism's complete genetic complement, uncover substantial portions of known pathways, and suggest the function of previously unannotated genes. In addition, the combined networks are qualitatively different from the networks obtained using individual methods.
