Distinguishing successive ancient polyploidy levels based on genome-internal syntenic alignment

Abstract Background A basic tool for studying the polyploidization history of a genome, especially in plants, is the distribution of duplicate gene similarities in syntenically aligned regions of a genome. This distribution can usually be decomposed into two or more components identifiable by peaks,...
