“…It is an important concept of evolution and comparative biology [11]. The availability of genome sequence of several species has provided an opportunity to elucidate the effects of evolution on every nucleotide and protein in a genome [12][13][14]. It is easy to identify nucleotide sets that descended from a common ancestral nucleotide with sequence alignment because the problem of identifying an evolutionary related nucleotide and protein is the sequence alignment [15].…”

Capturing similarity in gene sequences of a target organism to detect significant regions of comparison will most likely occur because genes share a related descendant. Local sequence alignment for the targeted organisms can help preserve associations among sequences of related organisms. Such homologous genes possess identical sequences with common ancestral genes. The genes may be similar to common traits, and varying purposes, but they descend from a common ancestor. Basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) from the National Center for Biotechnology Information. (NCBI) has been used by different researchers to resolve the various forms of alignment problems. However, much literature to bare the efficacy of standard proteinprotein BLAST (BLASTp) on the MATLAB platform has not been seen. In this study, a positionspecific iteration BLASTp of 20 anopheles insecticide target protein sequence was performed on NCBI Ensembl against genomes of Anopheles (target organism), then against humans, fruit-fly, zebrafish, and chicken genomes (non-target organisms) to eliminate the targets with homology to non-target organisms. Furthermore, the same iteration was repeated for the genomes of Anopheles and non-target organisms using a posterior probability algorithm built into MATLAB as a tool for protein to protein search BLAST. Outputs from NCBI and MATLAB were put forward to determine the optimality of an optimized search algorithm on MATLAB. The MATLAB-Blastp method based on the application of posterior probability has helped to avoid errors occurring in the early stages of alignment. Moreover, the same results were obtained for the sought features on NCBI Blastp with a refined understanding of how feature values are generated from MATLAB posterior probability built-in algorithm for position-specific BLAST.

“…This, in turn, suggests that a more precise characterization of the cognitive workings that the two-level model ascribes to the mid-dorsolateral and midventrolateral PFC could be achieved in the macaque monkey's homologues of these areas. 15 14 See also Moore ([2013]) for a discussion of the concept of homology applied to developmental psychology. 15 For example, studies in monkeys suggest that the online maintenance of multiple pieces of mnemonic information could be realized by the presence of reverberatory neural circuits in the mid-dorsolateral PFC (Tegnér et al [2002]).…”

In cognitive science, the concept of dissociation has been central to the functional individuation and decomposition of cognitive systems. Setting aside debates about the legitimacy of inferring the existence of dissociable systems from behavioral dissociation data, the main idea behind the dissociation approach is that two cognitive systems are dissociable, and therefore viewed as distinct, if each can be damaged, or impaired, without affecting the other system's functions. In this paper, I propose a notion of functional independence that does not require dissociability, and describe an approach to the functional decomposition and modelling of cognitive systems that complements the dissociation approach. I show that highly integrated cognitive and neurocognitive systems can be decomposed into non-dissociable but functionally independent components, and argue that this approach can provide a general account of cognitive specialization in terms of stable structure-function relationship.

“…exist to resolve the embedded topic‐comment structure within complex language, for example, “It was this beer, not the other one, which was drunk by the man who had only recently returned from Cincinnati (as opposed to the guy who came back from there a month ago)” (see Bates & MacWhinney, 1979, p. 177). Perhaps one may view this feature of language as revealing a form of serial homology (see D. Moore, 2012) in the structure of linguistic interaction. Whereas serial homology in developmental biology usually refers to repetition through reduplication of a homologous structure (e.g., to produce the vertebrae of the spinal column), in this present case each structure becomes incorporated as the topic for the next layer of the topic‐comment structure.…”

“…Despite these caveats, D. Moore (2012, this issue) has provided a clear argument for how, despite it being a nonorthodox usage, the concept of homology may well apply profitably to developmental psychology. To my mind, there are two particularly valuable outcomes of the application of the homology concept to developmental psychology.…”

Homology in the development of triadic interaction and language

Conceiving of development with reference to homology can help identify developmental continuity where surface form shows considerable variation across age. I argue that there is a homology of structure between the object-centred, or triadic, interactions that emerge in infancy and later language. The structure of triadic interaction in infancy is first described as involving joint attention and joint engagement about a shared topic, and then a case is made that this structure is maintained through three levels of complexity in language-single word utterances, multiword utterances, and finally complex constructions. A focus on the homological relation between these social interactive structures may be useful in revealing developmental continuities where these may be obscured by quite different surface forms.
