Abstract:Whole genome duplication (WGD) generates new genetic material that can contribute to the evolution of the regulation of developmental processes and phenotypic diversification. A WGD occurred in an ancestor of arachnopulmonates (spiders, scorpions, and their relatives), which provides an important independent comparison to WGDs in other animals like vertebrates and horseshoe crabs. After WGD, arachnopulmonates retained many duplicated copies (ohnologues) of key developmental genes including the clusters of home… Show more
