Hi Milton,

yes I think you need to worry about it.  In the Hieranoid paper we 
benchmarked with OrthoBench, believing this was a good test. But after 
the paper came out we realised that it only measures sensitivity and not 
specificity.  We have recently done some specificity tests and here 
Hieranoid performs significantly worse than InParanoid, i.e. it has many 
more false positives. Unfortunately nobody has worked on Hieranoid since 
the paper came out so we have not resolved this yet, but a new graduate 
student has just picked up the thread so we hope to be able to fix it 
soonish.  We still don't know what the problem is, so I can't give any 
estimates of how long it may take.

Yours
Erik Sonnhammer
