The word "homologs" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use the word "homologs" when referring to two or more related molecules, genes, or other biological entities that have similar functions, structures, or origins. For example, "Researchers have identified many homologs between the human and chimpanzee genomes."
Typically, an organic group contains carbon-hydrogen (C−H) bonds; for example, the simple methyl group, CH3, and larger homologs such as the ethyl group, C2H5, which attach to a metal atom through only one carbon atom.
The chromosomes composed of these matching genes are called homologs.
Relationships in some sense akin to those between serial homologs exist at the molecular level between genes and proteins derived from ancestral gene duplications.
As proponents of teleological theories point out, there is an apparent need for other historical kinds in biology (e.g., offspring, homologs and species).
Fuchsine was found to be a mixture of pararosaniline, C.I. Basic Red 9, and a homolog having a methyl group (−CH3) ortho to one of the amino groups (−NH2); its classical name is magenta (C.I. Basic Violet 14).
Genetic screening to determine the status of a gene known as TOMM40 (translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40 homolog [yeast]) can be used to provide additional information about the risk of Alzheimer disease and to predict the age of onset.
The so-called Hemingway cats have six digits, with the extra digit the homolog of the human thumb, which gives the paw a mittenlike appearance.
They isolated a chicken homolog of a fruit fly gene called "hedgehog".
The researchers report in the current issue of Nature Cell Biology that they scanned a mouse's ovaries for cells producing a protein called vasa homolog that is found only in the germ-line cells.
Furthermore, Judah's discussion finds no homolog in the thought of Crescas or even Maimonides when it comes to the concept of God's beauty.
