Orthologous proteins exhibit functional divergence across different species.
Is it true that Orthologous proteins exhibit functional divergence across different species?
Yes. Comparative genomic and transcriptomic studies across various species demonstrate that orthologous proteins frequently exhibit functional and regulatory divergence.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that orthologous proteins undergo functional divergence, as shown by studies examining gene expression patterns, transcriptional regulation, and protein embeddings across different species.
