A reappraisal of the phylogenetic placement of the Aquilegia whole-genome duplication
Tao Shi, Jinming Chen
Abstract
The accurate placement of an ancient whole-genome duplication (WGD) in relation to the lineage divergence is important. Here, we re-investigated the Aquilegia coerulea WGD and found it is more likely lineage-specific rather than shared by all eudicots.
