Abstract Background The introduction of measures such as evolutionary rate and propensity for gene loss have significantly advanced our knowledge of the evolutionary history and selection forces acting upon individual genes and cellular processes. Results We present two new measures the relative evolutionary rate pattern rERP which records the relative evolutionary rates of conserved genes across the different branches of a species phylogenetic tree and the copy number pattern CNP which quantifies the rate of gene loss of less conserved genes. Together these measures yield a high-resolution study of the coevolution of genes in 9 fungal species spanning 3 540 sets of orthologs. We find that the evolutionary tempo of conserved genes varies in different evolutionary periods. The co-evolution of genes Gene Ontology categories exhibits a significant correlation with their functional distance in the Gene Ontology hierarchy
