Sumario:Understanding whole genome duplication (WGD), or polyploidy, is fundamental to investigating the origin and diversification of organisms in evolutionary biology. The wealth of genomic data generated by next generation sequencing (NGS) has resulted in an urgent need for handy and accurate tools to detect WGD. Here, I present a useful and user-friendly pipeline called GenoDup for inferring WGD using the dS-based method. I have successfully applied GenoDup to identify WGD in empirical data from both plants and animals. The GenoDup Pipeline provides a reliable and useful tool to infer WGD from NGS data.
