For most sequenced flowering plants, multiple whole-genome duplications (WGDs) are
found. Duplicated genes following WGD often have different fates that can quickly disappear …

The evolution of genes and genomes after polyploidization has been the subject of
extensive studies in evolutionary biology and plant sciences. While a significant number of …

Gene and genome duplications have been rampant during the evolution of flowering plants.
Unlike small-scale gene duplications, whole-genome duplications (WGDs) copy entire …

Gene duplications provide evolutionary potentials for generating novel functions, while
polyploidization or whole genome duplication (WGD) doubles the chromosomes initially and …

Background The sharp increase of plant genome and transcriptome data provide valuable
resources to investigate evolutionary consequences of gene duplication in a range of taxa …

Gene duplicates, generated through either whole genome duplication (WGD) or small-scale
duplication (SSD), are prominent in angiosperms and are believed to play an important role …

It has been shown that gene body DNA methylation is associated with gene expression.
However, whether and how deviation of gene body DNA methylation between duplicate …

Background Both single gene and whole genome duplications (WGD) have recurred in
angiosperm evolution. However, the evolutionary effects of different modes of gene …

The importance of gene gain through duplication has long been appreciated. In contrast, the
importance of gene loss has only recently attracted attention. Indeed, studies in organisms …

Background Genome analyses have revealed that gene duplication in plants is rampant.
Furthermore, many of the duplicated genes seem to have been created through ancient …
