On the other hand, recent studies have shown the feasibility of inferring, at genomic scales, the relative age of duplication events from the topology of gene family trees. This represents a promising alternative for large surveys requiring an automatic methodology to establish a timeline of duplication events and that are usually limited to the use of dS, which presents known limitations such as a fast saturation of the signal. However, both measures have never been compared in a common framework.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Topology-based placement of duplications on a relative time scale corresponding to periods between speciation events were found to be highly consistent, providing the same placement for 67\u201384% of a reliable set of gene pairs duplicated in a single event. For recent evolutionary periods, dS and topological measures showed a strong correlation. We conclude that the topology-based approach is more appropriate for assigning duplications to temporal scales when analyses need to include ancient events, and that the study of recent duplications may benefit from a combination of dS and topology information.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0tgabaldon@crg.es<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btq609","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,11,13]],"date-time":"2010-11-13T01:20:02Z","timestamp":1289611202000},"page":"38-45","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Assigning duplication events to relative temporal scales in genome-wide studies"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Jaime","family":"Huerta-Cepas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bioinformatics and Genomics Programme, Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Doctor Aiguader 88, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"}]},{"given":"Toni","family":"Gabald\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bioinformatics and Genomics Programme, Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Doctor Aiguader 88, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,11,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012511160112500_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5714","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0806251106","article-title":"Simultaneous bayesian gene tree reconstruction and reconciliation analysis","volume":"106","author":"Akerborg","year":"2009","journal-title":"Proc.
