The Corydoradinae catfish are a diverse sub-family of neo-tropical catfishes (order
Siluriformes) with more than 170 species described to date. One of the most compelling …

Genome size varies significantly across eukaryotic taxa and the largest changes are
typically driven by macro-mutations such as whole genome duplications (WGDs) and …

Whole genome duplication (WGD) events result in the addition of thousands of duplicate
genes and regulatory elements to the genome, which are subjected to a variety of …

Whole genome duplication (WGD) events have occurred repeatedly in the evolutionary
history of plant and, less commonly, animal lineages, but their role as a facilitator of …

Teleost fish underwent whole-genome duplication around 450 Ma followed by diploidization
and loss of 80–85% of the duplicated genes. To identify a deep signature of this teleost …

Fishes of the family Catostomidae (“suckers”; Teleostei: Cypriniformes) are hypothesized to
have undergone an allopolyploidy event approximately 60 Ma. However, genomic evidence …

Introduction 3 in single-celled lineages such as yeast and Paramecium (Aury et al., 2006;
Kellis et al., 2004; Wolfe and Shields, 1997), with the duplication in yeast particularly well …

Teleost fishes are ancient tetraploids descended from an ancestral whole-genome
duplication that may have contributed to the impressive diversification of this clade. Whole …

Teleost fishes, which are the largest and most diverse group of living vertebrates, have a rich
history of ancient and recent polyploidy. Previous studies of allotetraploid common carp and …

Abstract With more than 30,000 species, ray-finned fish represent approximately half of
vertebrates. The evolution of ray-finned fish was impacted by several whole genome …
