name: biological aspect of ancestor evidence
def: "A type of phylogenetic evidence whereby an aspect of a descendant gene is inferred through the characterization of an aspect of an ancestral gene." [ECO:MCC]
is_a: ECO:0000080 ! phylogenetic evidence
comment: First, a characteristic of the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) is inferred from experimental evidence in descendants; this is followed by inferring a characteristic of a descendant of the MRCA. This type of evidence can be used in support of both positive and "not" GO annotations.
