Polyploidy is increasingly seen as a driver of both evolutionary innovation and ecological success. One source of polyploid organisms’ successes may be their origins in the merging and mixing of genomes from two different species (e.g., allopolyploidy). Using POInT (the Polyploid Orthology Inference Tool), we model the resolution of three allopolyploidy events, one from the bakers’ yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), one from the thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) and one from grasses including Sorghum bicolor. Analyzing a total of 21 genomes, we assign to every gene a probability for having come from each parental subgenome (i.e., derived from the diploid progenitor species), yielding orthologous segments across all genomes. Our model detects statistically robust evidence for the existence of biased fractionation in all three lineages, whereby genes from one of the two subgenomes were more likely to be lost than those from the other subgenome. We further find that a driver of this pattern of biased losses is the co-retention of genes from the same parental genome that share functional interactions. The pattern of biased fractionation after the Arabidopsis and grass allopolyploid events was surprisingly constant in time, with the same parental genome favored throughout the lineages’ history. In strong contrast, the yeast allopolyploid event shows evidence of biased fractionation only immediately after the event, with balanced gene losses more recently. The rapid loss of functionally associated genes from a single subgenome is difficult to reconcile with the action of genetic drift and suggests that selection may favor the removal of specific duplicates. Coupled to the evidence for continuing, functionally-associated biased fractionation after the A. thaliana At-α event, we suggest that, after allopolyploidy, there are functional conflicts between interacting genes encoded in different subgenomes that are ultimately resolved through preferential duplicate loss. Genome duplications/polyploidies can transiently double an organism’s gene content. However, this doubled condition is unstable and descendants of polyploid founders rapidly lose many of their duplicate genes. Here, we describe a phylogenomic pipeline that allows us to trace this history of gene loss across a set of modern genomes that all descend from the same three polyploidy events (two in flowering plants and one in yeasts). Polyploidy often occurs by the hybridization of related but not identical lineages, and previous studies in single polyploid genomes have identified a tendency for one lineage to lose fewer genes after polyploidy than the other (known as biased fractionation). However, single genome studies can be misled into inferring biased fractionation by incorrectly assuming that short regions of shared gene order are derived from the same parental genome. By phylogenetically modeling the resolution of these three polyploidy events across 21 genomes (10 plants and 11 yeasts), we confirm the existence of biased fractionation in plants and provide new evidence for it in yeasts (where it occurred only for a short interval post-polyploidy). We also show that genes from alternative parental genomes tend to encode products that do not physically interact, suggesting that selection to maintain function in co-adapted complexes helped to drive this bias in loss patterns.
