Detecting non-orthology in the COGs database and other approaches grouping orthologs using genome-specific best hits

Correct orthology assignment is a critical prerequisite of numerous comparative genomics procedures, such as function prediction, construction of phylogenetic species trees and genome rearrangement analysis. We present an algorithm for the detection of non-orthologs that arise by mistake in current...
