Key findings
Recent WGDs retain more WGD pairs; Brassicas show frequent WGT; modes vary by clade.
Methodology
Classified duplicates in 141 plant genomes into WGD, tandem, proximal, transposed, and dispersed classes.
Limitations
Classification depends on algorithms/parameters; not every pair’s function is tested.

Role on claims
Each row is a claim on a concept or method page where this paper supports, challenges, or qualifies the statement. Roles are hand-checked — not a model guess.
Multiple empirical papers in this library examine biodiversity with mechanistic biological findings.
Evidence for the claim as stated.
Recent WGDs retain more WGD pairs; Brassicas show frequent WGT; modes vary by clade.
Evidence for the claim as stated.
Systems and scales differ across biodiversity studies (species, tissues, methods), so mechanisms should not be over-generalised.

From concept pages' “where studies disagree.” Disagreement means the same question; scope means different assays, populations, or outcomes.
