Hi all -
Does anyone have ideas for how to detect whether a particular genome has undergone a whole genome duplication? I have an assembly file (scaffolds) from a de-novo genome assembly. I have identified some duplicated proteins, but after reassembling with an assembler for highly heterozygous genomes, most of these duplicated genes disappear. I'm not sure if this actually answers the question regarding whole genome duplication though. Any thoughts are appreciated!
Thank you.
