SIZE MAY NOT MATTER. “Our genome downsizing simulations indicate optimal genome downsizing rates between 0 and 30% across polyploidy series taxa, species, and genus analyses. Genome downsizing does not necessarily have to be large to explain the lack of a strong relationship between average genome size and ploidy level, and at the genus level, it may not play a role at all.”
