Duharcourt Lab – Dynamics of gene loss following ancient whole-genome duplication in the cryptic Paramecium complex

The Duharcourt Lab just published in Molecular Biology and Evolution : Dynamics of gene loss following ancient whole-genome duplication in the cryptic Paramecium complex Abstract: Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) have shaped the gene repertoire of many eukaryotic lineages. The redundancy created by WGDs typically results in a phase of massive gene loss. However, some WGD-derived paralogs are maintained over long…
