Abstract excerpt
Episodes of whole-genome duplication (WGD) followed by gene loss dominate the evolutionary history of flowering plants. Despite the importance of understanding gene evolution following WGD, little is known about the evolutionary dynamics of this process. In this study, we analyzed duplicated genes from three WGD events in the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) lineage using multiple data types. Most duplicated...
