  text: Acquisition of evolutionary novelties is a fundamental process for adapting
    to the external environment and invading new niches and results in the diversification
    of life, which we can see in the world today. How such novel phenotypic traits
    are acquired in the course of evolution and are built up in developing embryos
    has been a central question in biology. Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a process
    of genome doubling that supplies raw genetic materials and increases genome complexity.
    Recently, it has been gradually revealed that WGD and subsequent fate changes
    of duplicated genes can facilitate phenotypic evolution. Here, we review the current
    understanding of the relationship between WGD and the acquisition of evolutionary
    novelties. We show some examples of this link and discuss how WGD and subsequent
    duplicated genes can facilitate phenotypic evolution as well as when such genomic
    doubling can be advantageous for adaptation.
