A Duplicate Resolved Paddlefish Genome Provides Insights into the Mechanisms of Rediploidisation and Hox Cluster Evolution

Whole-genome duplication (WGD; or polyploidy) has played a major role in the evolution of many lineages however, our understanding of the processes that shape genome evolution following WGD remains incomplete. While polyploidy duplicates the entire genome sequence, it is rediploidisation that establishes inde- pendent duplicated genes. Rediploidisation proceeds through suppression of meiotic…
