HomoloGene is a database developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) that is designed to facilitate the identification of homologous genes across different species. Homologous genes are those that share a common ancestor and can be categorized into two main types: orthologs and paralogs. - **Orthologs** are genes in different species that evolved from a common ancestral gene and typically retain similar functions.
