The shape of human gene family phylogenies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Background: The shape of phylogenetic trees has been used to make inferences about the evolutionary process by comparing the shapes of actual phylogenies with those expected under simple models of the speciation process. Previous studies have focused

The Impact of Whole Genome Duplication on the Evolution of the Arachnids

open access: yesIntegrative And Comparative Biology, 2023
Synopsis The proliferation of genomic resources for Chelicerata in the past 10 years has revealed that the evolution of chelicerate genomes is more dynamic than previously thought, with multiple waves of ancient whole genome duplications affecting separate lineages.

WGDTree: a phylogenetic software tool to examine conditional probabilities of retention following whole genome duplication events

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2022
Background Multiple processes impact the probability of retention of individual genes following whole genome duplication (WGD) events. In analyzing two consecutive whole genome duplication events that occurred in the lineage leading to Atlantic salmon, a

Whole-Genome Duplication and Genome Instability in Cancer Cells: Double the Trouble. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Mol Sci, 2023
Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is one of the most common genomic abnormalities in cancers. WGD can provide a source of redundant genes to buffer the deleterious effect of somatic alterations and facilitate clonal evolution in cancer cells. The extra DNA and centrosome burden after WGD is associated with an elevation of genome instability.

Whole genome duplication and transposable element proliferation drive genome expansion in Corydoradinae catfishes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Genome size varies significantly across eukaryotic taxa and the largest changes are typically driven by macro-mutations such as whole genome duplications (WGDs) and proliferation of repetitive elements.

WGDdetector: a pipeline for detecting whole genome duplication events using the genome or transcriptome annotations

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2019
Background With the availability of well-assembled genomes of a growing number of organisms, identifying the bioinformatic basis of whole genome duplication (WGD) is a growing field of genomics.

Beyond the Whole-Genome Duplication: Phylogenetic Evidence for an Ancient Interspecies Hybridization in the Baker's Yeast Lineage. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2015
Whole-genome duplications have shaped the genomes of several vertebrate, plant, and fungal lineages. Earlier studies have focused on establishing when these events occurred and on elucidating their functional and evolutionary consequences, but we still ...

Inference of Ancient Whole-Genome Duplications and the Evolution of Gene Duplication and Loss Rates [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2019
Abstract Gene tree–species tree reconciliation methods have been employed for studying ancient whole-genome duplication (WGD) events across the eukaryotic tree of life. Most approaches have relied on using maximum likelihood trees and the maximum parsimony reconciliation thereof to count duplication events on specific branches of ...

Whole Genome Duplications and Contracted Breakpoint Graphs

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Computing, 2007
The genome halving problem, motivated by the whole genome duplication events in molecular evolution, was solved by El-Mabrouk and Sankoff in the pioneering paper [SIAM J. Comput., 32 (2003), pp. 754-792]. The El-Mabrouk-Sankoff algorithm is rather complex, inspiring a quest for a simpler solution.
