Evidence of gene orthology through sequence homology and gene order conservation. The Francisella tularensis subspecies novicida U112 gene FTN_0453 does not have any homologous genes in other Francisella strains. The PSAT genomic neighborhood browser, however, highlighted a gene cluster between F t novicida U112 and genomes from genera such as Shewanella and Vibrio. The conserved order of the homologs provided secondary evidence that the genes in this cluster are orthologs.
