title: Finding a common path: predicting gene function using inferred evolutionary trees.
abstract: Reporting in Cell, Li and colleagues (2014) describe an innovative method to functionally classify genes using evolutionary information. This approach demonstrates broad utility for eukaryotic gene annotation and suggests an intriguing new decomposition of pathways and complexes into evolutionarily conserved modules.
