The two sub-genomes of the allotetraploid frog Xenopus laevis are evolving under similar selective pressure in extant populations

Abstract The model species Xenopus laevis is an allotetraploid species, whose genome consists of two sub-genomes (the L and S sub-genomes) that were inherited from its parental species. Previous studies comparing the genome of X. laevis with other species of the genus revealed that the L sub-genome...
