    The reciprocal smallest distance (RSD) algorithm accurately identifies gene orthologs by analyzing evolutionary distances, improving upon standard methods like reciprocal best hits (RBH). This enhances understanding of gene function evolution and disease.

    Area of Science:

    • * Evolutionary biology
    • * Bioinformatics
    • * Genomics

    Background:

    • * Understanding gene phylogenetic history offers insights into functional diversification, developmental complexity, and disease.
    • * Accurate ortholog identification and evolutionary diversification measurement are crucial for reconstructing gene relationships across organisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • * To detail the reciprocal smallest distance (RSD) algorithm for robust ortholog detection.
    • * To present RSD as an improvement over common reciprocal best Basic Local Alignment Search Tool hits (RBH) methods.

    Main Methods:

    • * Utilizes global sequence alignment and maximum likelihood estimation of evolutionary distances.
    • * Employs the reciprocal smallest distance (RSD) algorithm for ortholog identification between genomes.

    Main Results:

    • * RSD identifies more putative orthologs than RBH by being less susceptible to interference from close paralogs.
    • * The algorithm's flexibility allows for the detection of increasingly distant orthologs between divergent species.

    Conclusions:

    • * The reciprocal smallest distance (RSD) algorithm is a powerful and flexible tool for ortholog detection.
    • * RSD enhances the ability to study gene evolution, function, and the molecular basis of diseases.
