Whole genome duplication shaped salmon family evolution, study finds
Original: Whole genome duplication shaped the evolution of the salmon family
New research indicates that an ancient whole genome duplication event played a central role in the evolution of the salmon family, including salmon and trout. The duplicated genetic material is said to have provided raw material for adaptation, helping explain traits such as migration and life-history diversity in these fish.
Why now: Fresh coverage of a genetics study has drawn attention from science readers interested in evolution.
