A synergism between adaptive effects and evolvability drives whole genome duplication to fixation.

Whole genome duplication has shaped eukaryotic evolutionary history and has been associated with drastic environmental change and species radiation. While the most common fate of WGD duplicates is a return to single copy, retained duplicates have been found enriched for highly interacting genes. Thi...
