[edit]Should be fused with Gene duplication ? --NicolasStransky 11:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Absolutely — I've adopted the disambig page Duplication, and the wording of genetics-related pages that link to it don't at all make it clear which is which. Lenoxus " * " 19:46, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- The gene duplication page is phrased in such a way that it appears to cover every case, but without much detail; genome duplication seems to be another particular case, but that redirects to polyploidy, which discusses it more as a condition than an event. Then there's the pages at 2R hypothesis and paleopolyploidy, which both related to the latter. What seems to be not really covered at all is the duplication of a single chromosome, which IIRC is also believed to occur (as an EB event, as well as a developmental abnormality). But I might be getting all this muddled: I'll ask the MCB people if they can add some clarifying content to distinguish the different articles, or else to help merge them, if that's not justified at present.
