no similarity vs no homology If two (complex) sequences show significant similarity in their primary sequence, they have shared ancestry, and probably similar function.
THE REVERSE IS NOT TRUE:
PROTEINS WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR FUNCTION DO NOT ALWAYS SHOW SIGNIFICANT SEQUENCE SIMILARITYfor one of two reasons:
a) they evolved independently (e.g. different types of nucleotide binding sites); or b) they underwent so many substitution events that there is no readily detectable similarity remaining.
Corollary: PROTEINS WITH SHARED ANCESTRY DO NOT ALWAYS SHOW SIGNIFICANT SIMILARITY.

The 3 point alignment tool If you want to compare the structure of very
dissimilar proteins that use a similar substrate, sometimes it helps to align the substrates.
This can be done through the 3 point alignment tool.

Darwin’s coral was a red algae(Bossea orbignyana)
From Florian Maderspacher: “The captivating coral--the origins of early evolutionary imagery.” Curr Biol 16: R476-8 2006
The captivating coral. According to the ideas of Horst Bredekamp, parts of the diagram in Darwin's origin of species (centre) more or less directly reflect the branching properties of a specimen Darwin collected himself.

Gene Transfer and Phylogenetic Reconstruction: Friends or Foes?
Popular view Gene transfer is a disruptive
force in phylogenetic reconstruction.
New view Events of ancient gene
transfer are valuable tools for reconstructing organismal phylogeny.

1. Any ancient gene transfer to the ancestor of a major lineage implicitly marks the recipient and descendents as a natural group.
2. The donor must exist at the same time or earlier than the recipient.

Gene “ping-pong” between different lineages can be used to build correlations between different parts of the tree/net of life.
Presence of a transferred gene is a shared derived character that can be useful in systematics.
