The paper investigates the role of ancient whole-genome duplications in crop domestication by analyzing the enrichment of paleologs in domestication candidate genes across 22 species.

The paper develops a chromosome-scale reference genome and genetic map for yellow starthistle, identifies QTLs associated with invader traits, and finds structural variants and paleolog enrichment linked to invasion-related adaptations.

This study examines Chelicerate genomes to determine if whole genome duplications occurred in spiders and scorpions, finding no evidence for such events in their history.

SLEDGe uses a machine learning classifier with a Ks plot simulator to detect ancient whole-genome duplication signatures in genomic data with high accuracy.

The paper assesses how species tree topology affects the inference of ancient whole-genome duplications in angiosperms using different methods and phylogenetic hypotheses.

The paper develops a machine learning method to classify paleologs from whole genome duplications in plants, showing improved accuracy and efficiency compared to existing methods.
