Homology
What is protein homology?
Homology is the existence of shared ancestry between a pair of structures, or genes, in different taxa. Protein homology compares the amino acid sequence of similar proteins in different species to determine how closely related different species are. NCBI Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) was used to identify proteins which were homologous to the Human RASSF1A protein.
