Evidence for an ancient whole genome duplication in the cycad lineage. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Contrary to the many whole genome duplication events recorded for angiosperms (flowering plants), whole genome duplications in gymnosperms (non-flowering seed plants) seem to be much rarer.

Ohno-miRNAs: miRNA pairs derived from whole-genome duplication. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyTwo rounds of whole-genome duplication (WGD) occurred about 500 million years ago and played a major role in the evolution of the vertebrate genomes. Human genes derived from WGD are called "ohnologs".

Timing of whole genome duplication is associated with tumor-specific MHC-II depletion in serous ovarian cancer [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsWhole genome duplication is frequently observed in cancer, and its prevalence in our prior analysis of end-stage, homologous recombination deficient high grade serous ovarian cancer (almost 80% of samples) supports the notion that whole genome ...

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background The great diversity in plant genome size and chromosome number is partly due to polyploidization (i.e. genome doubling events). The differences in genome size and chromosome number among diploid plant species can be a window into the ...

GPCR genes are preferentially retained after whole genome duplication. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 One of the most interesting questions in biology is whether certain pathways have been favored during evolution, and if so, what properties could cause such a preference.

Genome duplication and gene loss affect the evolution of heat shock transcription factor genes in legumes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Whole-genome duplication events (polyploidy events) and gene loss events have played important roles in the evolution of legumes. Here we show that the vast majority of Hsf gene duplications resulted from whole genome duplication events rather than ...

Escape from preferential retention following repeated whole genome duplication in plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 The well supported gene dosage hypothesis predicts that genes encoding proteins engaged in dose-sensitive interactions cannot be reduced back to single copies once all interacting partners are simultaneously duplicated in a whole genome duplication.

Parallel evolution of amphioxus and vertebrate small-scale gene duplications
Genome Biology, 2022 Background Amphioxus are non-vertebrate chordates characterized by a slow morphological and molecular evolution. They share the basic chordate body-plan and genome organization with vertebrates but lack their 2R whole-genome duplications and their ...
