PhyloWGD Module Now Available in PGDD 2.0

March 27, 2026
PhyloWGD provides a phylogeny-aware view of whole-genome duplication (WGD) events across angiosperms, enabling users to explore duplication histories in an evolutionary context. By integrating curated WGD events with species-level phylogenetic information, this module enhances the ability to trace and compare duplication events across lineages. Key features include: Interactive timeline of WGD events across geological time Species-specific WGD annotations linked to phylogenetic placement Integrated visualization for exploring recent and ancient duplication events This addition expands PGDD 2.0 from pairwise genome comparisons to a broader, evolutionary framework, offering deeper insights into plant genome evolution.
