Gene retention, fractionation and subgenome differences in polyploid plants

F Cheng, J Wu, X Cai, J Liang, M Freeling, X Wang - Nature plants, 2018 - nature.com
All natural plant species are evolved from ancient polyploids. Polyloidization plays an
important role in plant genome evolution, species divergence and crop domestication. We …

The evolutionary significance of ancient genome duplications

Y Van de Peer, S Maere, A Meyer - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2009 - nature.com
Many organisms are currently polyploid, or have a polyploid ancestry and now have
secondarily'diploidized'genomes. This finding is surprising because retained whole-genome …

Genome doubling shapes the evolution and prognosis of advanced cancers

CM Bielski, A Zehir, AV Penson, MTA Donoghue… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Ploidy abnormalities are a hallmark of cancer, but their impact on the evolution and
outcomes of cancers is unknown. Here, we identified whole-genome doubling (WGD) in the …

Beyond the whole-genome duplication: phylogenetic evidence for an ancient interspecies hybridization in the baker's yeast lineage

M Marcet-Houben, T Gabaldón - PLoS biology, 2015 - journals.plos.org
Whole-genome duplications have shaped the genomes of several vertebrate, plant, and
fungal lineages. Earlier studies have focused on establishing when these events occurred …

Differentiation of the maize subgenomes by genome dominance and both ancient and ongoing gene loss

JC Schnable, NM Springer… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
Ancient tetraploidies are found throughout the eukaryotes. After duplication, one copy of
each duplicate gene pair tends to be lost (fractionate). For all studied tetraploidies, the loss …

The house spider genome reveals an ancient whole-genome duplication during arachnid evolution

EE Schwager, PP Sharma, T Clarke, DJ Leite… - BMC biology, 2017 - Springer
Background The duplication of genes can occur through various mechanisms and is thought
to make a major contribution to the evolutionary diversification of organisms. There is …

Bias in plant gene content following different sorts of duplication: tandem, whole-genome, segmental, or by transposition

M Freeling - Annual review of plant biology, 2009 - annualreviews.org
Each mode of gene duplication (tandem, tetraploid, segmental, transpositional) retains
genes in a biased manner. A reciprocal relationship exists between plant genes retained …
