Fitting the gene lineage into its species lineage

activating regulator mutations. Analysis of amino acid sequence data from the alpha and beta hemoglobins and myoglobins suggests that the gene lineages deviate relatively little from established species relationships, and that most contemporary gene pairs in this phylogenetic system may be regarded as orthologous (split at the time of speciation) rather than paralogous (split prior to speciation). It also appears that as the statistical sample of orthologous sequence sites becomes greatly enlarged by tandem alignment of enough different types of protein chains, the parsimony reconstruction based strictly on minimal nucleotide replacement length will itself reveal the correct cladogram for the set of contemporary species.
