INTRODUCTION
It might be thought that in each case the key proteins would be orthologs.
Indeed, universal protein families shared by all archae, eubacteria, and
eukaryotes have been described.
The existence of two or more distinct sets of orthologs that are
responsible for the same function in different organisms is
called non-orthologous gene displacement. That is, there are
at least two biochemical solutions to each cellular
requirement. Only about 60 genes have been identified where
gene displacement has not been observed (as yet) and most
of these encode components of the trancription and
translation systems.
