During Spring 2018, Professor Yves Van de Peer from Ghent University visited NMBU and described his work (http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/beg/tags/wgd) on whole genome duplication (WGD).
... Van de Peer's group has published extensively on the evolutionary significance of WGD (1), providing convincing evidence that WGD events have initiated important processes in the evolution of vertebrates, plants, fungi and other eukaryotes because the duplicate genes generated have the potential to diverge in their protein functions and regulation. Recently, NMBU scientists together with international partners have studied WGD's role in salmon evolution, publishing in Nature in 2016 (2) and in Genome Biology in 2017 (3). WGDs have been discovered in several lineages by analyzing genome sequences to detect duplication of similar sequences and then using time-mutation rate assumptions to conver
