MULTI-FACETED ANALYSIS PROVIDES LITTLE EVIDENCE FOR RECURRENT WHOLE-GENOME DUPLICATIONS DURING HEXAPOD EVOLUTION

Multi-faceted analysis provides little evidence for recurrent whole-genome duplications during hexapod evolution

Abstract Background Gene duplication events play an important role in the evolution and adaptation of organisms.Duplicated genes can arise through different mechanisms, including whole-genome duplications (WGDs).Recently, WGD was suggested to be an important driver of evolution, also in hexapod animals.Results Here, we analyzed 20 high-quality hexa
