Although this approach is well suited to discover new orphans, it does not allow tracing the evolution of orphans.

Figure 5 should be discussed in the light of the quality of every genome considered to make sure that losses or gains depend on the specific rates of orphan gene evolution per lineage and not on the quality of sequencing and assembly.

Venomics, the scientific study of venoms, is also yielding insights into general biological questions, such as the evolutionary importance of orphan genes, the evolution of neofunctionalization of duplicate genes, and the evolutionary pressures regulating the optimal use of metabolically expensive resources such as venoms (Khalturin et al. 2009; Chang and Duda 2012; Morgenstern and King 2013).
