Duplicate gene retention is partly repeatable across independent whole-genome duplications in plants, fungi and animals
Whole-genome duplication (WGD) has recurred throughout eukaryotic evolution. After each event most duplicated gene pairs (ohnologs) have returned to single copy, but a non-random subset has been retained. Whether the same ancestral genes are retained again after independent WGDs, and why, has not been quantified gene b...
