| Abstract: | Background Gene duplication is considered a major driving force for evolution of genetic novelty, thereby facilitating functional divergence
and organismal diversity, including the process of speciation. Animals, fungi and plants are major eukaryotic kingdoms and
the divergences between them are some of the most significant evolutionary events. Although gene duplications in each lineage
have been studied extensively in various contexts, the extent of gene duplication prior to the split of plants and animals/fungi
is not clear. |
