For a new Perspective in GBE, Au et al. provide an overview on whole genome duplications in animals, arguing that they have occurred frequently across invertebrates; expanding WGD studies is thus essential for understanding metazoan evolution.

Gene and protein length distributions are lognormal. Length distributions for genes (blue, measured in number of base pairs) and their corresponding proteins (orange, measured in number of amino acids) for Danio rerio (zebrafish). Note that lengths are represented on a logarithmic scale. The red curves are fits to lognormal distributions.

Excited to share my second first-authored paper!
It’s not a perfect paper, but I learned a ton through writing and revising the manuscript, handling manuscript proofs, and navigating the entire publication process. Grateful for the experience!
