Genome duplication in a long-term multicellularity evolution experiment - PubMed
Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is widespread across eukaryotes and can promote adaptive evolution<sup>1-4</sup>. However, given the instability of newly formed polyploid genomes<sup>5-7</sup>, understanding how WGDs arise in a population, persist, and underpin adaptations remains a challenge. Here, …
