EnsemblCompara Get Paralogues

Find paralogous genes (genes within the same species that arose from gene duplication events) using Ensembl Compara. Paralogues often have related but diverged functions. Returns paralogue gene IDs, duplication type, and evolutionary context. Example: TP53 has paralogues TP63 (ENSG00000073282) and TP73 (ENSG00000078900) in human, from ancient vertebrate gene duplication.
