Book Chapter Description

Identification of intragenomic conservation of gene compositions in multiple chromosomal segments led to evidence of whole genome (WGDs) duplications. The process by which WGDs have been maintained and decayed provides us with clues for understanding how the genome evolves. In this chapter, we summarize current understanding of phylogenetic distribution and evolutionary impact of WGDs, introduce basic procedures to detect conserved synteny, and discuss typical pitfalls, as well as biological insights. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
