Phylogenetic reconstruction of orthology, paralogy, and conserved synteny for dog and human. by Leo Goodstadt, Chris P Ponting

“…Using PhyOP to investigate orthologues and paralogues in the human and dog genomes, we found that the human assembly contains 3-fold more gene duplications than the dog. Species-specific duplicate genes, or "in-paralogues," are generally shorter and have fewer exons than 1:1 orthologues, which is consistent with selective constraints and mutation biases based on the sizes of duplicated genes. …”
