Polyploidy and Genome Evolution

Edición de Douglas E. Soltis, Pamela S. Soltis ...

Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
Polyploidy – whole-genome duplication (WGD) – is a fundamental driver of biodiversity with significant consequences for genome structure, organization, and evolution. Once considered a speciation process common only in plants, polyploidy is now recognized to have played a major role in the structure, gene content, and evolution of most eukaryotic genomes. In fact, the diversity of eukaryotes seems ... Leer más
