A new preprint from the lab on the distribution of ancient whole-genome duplications across the angiosperm phylogeny. Great work led by PhD student Michael McKibben! We used a variety of methods and different species trees to infer and place WGDs across the phylogeny. Overall, similar results to our past work, but species tree had a large impact on WGD inferences. Check it out here:
