HomoloGene

Homologene is like a big family tree of genes that are related to each other. Just like how you have family members who look similar or have similar traits, genes can also have similarities. Homologene helps scientists figure out which genes are related and how they might work together in the body. You can think of it like a map that shows how genes are connected and helps scientists understand how to study and treat diseases that are related to certain genes.
