Natural pathways towards polyploidy in animals: the Squalius alburnoides fish complex as a model system to study genome size and genome reorganization in polyploids.

Abstract excerpt

When comparing the known picture of polyploidy in animals and in plants, it is possible to recognize some similarities, namely: (i) multiple and recurrent origins in several well-established taxonomic groups; (ii) a strong and regular association with hybridization events; (iii) the production of genotypic diversity; (iv) a rapid genomic reshuffling; (v) a very active role of transposable elements in...
