When a cell divides, the genome has to be duplicated, then the two copies separate, with one going to each daughter cell. But there have been whole genome duplication events in organisms in which both ...

University of Iowa biologists discovered that a New Zealand freshwater snail duplicated its entire genome, capturing a rare evolutionary transitory state. The finding shows how large-scale genetic ...

Evolutionary biologists studied spoonworts to determine what influence genome duplication has on the adaptive potential of plants. The results show that polyploids -- species with more than two sets ...

For quota_Anchor, collinear gene pairs are initially identified by a dynamic programming algorithm analogous to those implemented in DAGchainer and ...

A series of whole genome and gene duplication events that go back hundreds of millions of years have laid the foundations for tissue-specific gene expression, according to a new study. The 'copy-paste ...

Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, represent the most diverse group of seed plants, and their origin and evolution have long been a central question in plant evolutionary biology.

Esotropia and exotropia could have shared genetic risk factors based on findings that genetif duplications on chromosomes were risk factors for the diseases. Genetic duplications in the second, fourth ...

Researchers found that the slime eel, or hagfish, known for deluging predators with mucus, tripled the size of its genome hundreds of millions of years ago. By Veronique Greenwood The hagfish, a ...
