The house spider genome reveals an ancient whole-genome duplication during arachnid evolution

Abstract Background The duplication of genes can occur through various mechanisms and is thought to make a major contribution to the evolutionary diversification of organisms. There is increasing evidence for a large-scale duplication of genes in some chelicerate lineages including two rounds of who...
