So much diversity, such little cells: Comparative yeast genomic reveals mechanisms of genome evolution

Article Abstract:

An attempt is made to describe genome evolution in detail providing compelling evidence of whole-genome duplication, in addition to segmental duplications, extensive gene losses and tandem gene repeats. Insights are provided for large-scale evolutionary mechanisms for practically any genome.
