Independent rediploidization masks shared whole genome duplication in the sturgeon-paddlefish ancestor
Abstract Whole genome duplication (WGD) is a dramatic evolutionary event generating many new genes and which may play a role in survival through mass extinctions. Paddlefish and sturgeon are sister lineages that both show genomic evidence for ancient WGD. Until now this has been interpreted as two i...
