Multi-faceted analysis provides little evidence for recurrent whole-genome duplications during hexapod evolution
Abstract Background Gene duplication events play an important role in the evolution and adaptation of organisms. Duplicated genes can arise through different mechanisms, including whole-genome duplications (WGDs). Recently, WGD was suggested to be an important driver of evolution, also in hexapod an...
