The misuse of terms ‘homology’ in bioinformatics community

In a recent letter to the editor of journal Bioinformatics Marabotti and Facchiano have raised the concern over the misuse of term ‘homology’ in peer-reviwed bioinformatics papers. This issues is not new for the scientific community at all, in fact severity of the issue was first recognized in 1987 when a letter to the Editor of Cell addressed the use and misuse of the term ‘homology’. When two or more proteins are homologous, precisely it means that they have a common evolutionary origin and nothing more than that. But over the years that term ‘homology’ has been frequently and wrongly used as synonym of ‘similarity’ or percent identity such as protein sequence A and B are 70% homologous. Homology is a binary character, either sequences share ancestry or they don’t. Marabotti and Facchiano suggest that
For the complete article: http://bit.ly/bEI5eU[I]t is not possible to associate the term [‘homology’] to an adjective as low or high, or indicate a degree of homology with a number, as an example a percentage value. The common origin exists or not. Moreover, it is not possible to apply this term to a single object, being referred to a quality which includes the existence of at least two homologous proteins.
