Homolog: It describes a divergent evolutionary relationship between genes and proteins based on their sequence similarity/identity.

Orthologs and paralogs are subcategories of homologs; they are types of homologs.

Orthologs: They have the same gene/protein in different species. These are derived from a common ancestor gene through vertical descent.

Paralogs: They have the same genes/proteins within the genome of a species. These are derived from a common ancestor gene through duplication events.

Ortholog: same gene/protein in different species. These are derived from a common ancestor gene through vertical descent (i.e. passed down to new organisms during speciation events).

Example: the Cas9 endonuclease from CRISPR is found in most bacterial, and same archaea species. These Cas9 proteins come from speciation events that began with a common ancestral endonuclease.

Paralogs: same genes/proteins within the genome of a species. These are derived from a common ancestor gene through duplication events (i.e. a copy of the gene is made in the genome and evolved to have another function.)

Example: Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is a human gut commensal bacterium that has a lot of operons dedicated to carbohydrtate metabolism. These operons are similar to each other, and most of them contain a carbohydrate transmembrane transporter protein.

Both orthologs and paralogs are types of homologs, that is, they denote genes that derive from the same ancestral sequence. Orthologs are corresponding genes in different lineages and are a result of speciation, whereas paralogs result from a gene duplication.

They are the result of gene duplication and the gene copies resulting from the duplication are called paralogous.

A gene related to a second gene by descent from a common ancestral DNA sequence. The term, homolog, may apply to the relationship between genes separated by the event of speciation ortholog or to the relationship betwen genes separated by the event of genetic duplication  paralog.

Orthologs are genes in different species that evolved from a common ancestral gene by speciation, and, in general, orthologs retain the same function during the course of evolution. Identification of orthologs is a critical process for reliable prediction of gene function in newly sequenced genomes.

Homolog

Homolog is similarity due to shared ancestry between a pair of structures or genes in different taxa. A divergent evolutionary relationship between genes and proteins based on their sequence similarity/identity. Orthologs and paralogs are subcategories of homologs.

Ortholog

Ortholog is Any of two or more homologous gene sequences found in different species related by linear descent.

Paralog

Paralog is gene copies created by a duplication event within the same genome. While orthologous genes kept the same function, paralogous genes often develop different functions due to missing selective pressure on one copy of the duplicated gene.
