Genome duplication in a long-term multicellularity evolution experiment
Nature, Published online: 05 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-08689-6In the Multicellularity Long Term Evolution Experiment, diploid yeast evolve to be tetraploid under selection for larger multicellular size, revealing how whole-genome duplication can arise due to its immediate benefits, persist under selection, and fuel long-term innovations via aneuploidy.
