In this review, we aim to describe the basic concepts of protein domain evolution and illustrate recent developments in molecular evolution that have provided valuable new insights in the field of comparative genomics and protein interaction networks. This likely stems from the fact that they are required to participate in many different interactions, which makes selection pressures more stringent and the appearance of the branches on phylogenetic trees relatively short and more difficult to assess when co-evolutionary data in terms of other domains in the same gene family or expression patterns is limited [42, 63] . This approach thus primarily focuses on the similarity and differences of the orthologous genes within network, and is therefore ideally suited for the study of protein domain evolution and has already revealed that species-specific parts Fig. ./cache/cord-000257-ampip7od.txt ./txt/cord-000257-ampip7od.txt
