Summary Introduction

To determine: The specific data required to detect the situation using dN/dS ratio in the case of paralogs and the pattern observed in duplicative loci using the dN /dS ratio.

Introduction: The origin of two or more genes arising from the process of duplication are said to be paralogs. A hemoglobin gene family is composed of many paralogs which are separated in due course of time. The importance of positive selection can be studied with the help of a simple statistical method (dN/dS) comprising of DNA sequences from two different species.
