Recent advances in understanding the roles of whole genome duplications in evolution
2018-03-29
Abstract excerpt
Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs)— paleo polyploidy events—are key to solving Darwin’s ‘abominable mystery’ of how flowering plants evolved and radiated into a rich variety of species. The vertebrates also emerged from their invertebrate ancestors via two WGDs, and genomes of diverse gymnosperm trees, unicellular eukaryotes, invertebrates, fishes, amphibians and even a rodent carry evidence of lineage-speci...
