Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a major event that drastically reshapes
genome architecture and is often assumed to be causally associated with organismal …

Polyploidy is a cellular state containing more than two complete chromosome sets. It has
largely been studied as a discrete phenomenon in either organismal, tissue, or disease …

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

As the only surviving lineages of jawless fishes, hagfishes and lampreys provide a crucial
window into early vertebrate evolution,–. Here we investigate the complex history, timing …

Organismal evolution displays complex dynamics in phase and scale which seem to trend
towards increasing biocomplexity and diversity. For over a century, such amazing dynamics …

Gene duplication is recognized as a critical process in genome evolution; however, many
questions about this process remain unanswered. Although gene duplicability has been …

Hybridization blurs species boundaries and leads to intertwined lineages resulting in
reticulate evolution. Polyploidy, the outcome of whole genome duplication (WGD), has more …

Vertebrate evolution has been punctuated by three whole genome duplication events that
have been implicated causally in phenotypic evolution, from the origin of phenotypic …

The cytogenetics of Acanthocephala is a neglected area in the study of this group of
endoparasites. Chromosome number and/or karyotypes are known for only 12 of the 1,270 …

Whole genome duplication (WGD) is an evolutionary event resulting in a redundancy of
genetic material. Different mechanisms of WGD, allo-or autopolyploidization, lead to distinct …
