An example of the limitations of the orthology concept. A segmental duplication creates two copies of gene Y in species B. Gene YA is orthologous to both YB1 and YB2. However, we would like to distinguish the (YA, YB1) relationship from the (YA, YB2) relationship because YA and YB1 are most representative of the ancestral copy of Y.
