Twilight Zone

A ‘grey zone’ that exists when base pairs from different DNA sequences, or amino acids from different proteins, are compared to determine the degree of sequence similarity—‘homology’; the twilight zone is that degree of sequence similarity in which it is uncertain whether the molecules being compared are or are not related. The term is derived from the US television show of the same name.
