We have recently adopted a new build procedure which makes use of amino acid sequence searching (blastp) to find more distant relationships, but still refers to the DNA sequence for computation of some of the statistics. The matching strategy is guided by the taxonomic tree, such that more closely related organisms are compared first. Moreover, HomoloGene entries now include paralogs in addition to orthologs.
