name: biological system reconstruction evidence based on homology evidence
def: "A type of biological system reconstruction where the evidence is inferred by homology based on conservation of sequence, function, and composition from an existing experimentally supported model to a process, pathway, or complex." [ECO:SN, PMID:15660128]
is_a: ECO:0000088 ! biological system reconstruction evidence
comment: Inference may be based on paralogy and/or orthology of the genome-encoded components and is made primarily on functional conservation between the two systems. The sequences and number of genome-encoded components are fairly conserved but some divergence is observed. Evidence may originate from a combination of several experiments in the same or another species.
