Abstract
BACKGROUND: It has recently been shown that fractionation, the random loss of excess gene copies after a whole genome duplication event, is a major cause of gene order disruption. When estimating evolutionary distances between genomes based on chromosomal rearrangement, fractionation inevitably leads to significant overestimation of classic rearrangement distances. This bias can be largely avoided when genomes are preprocessed by "consolidation", a procedure that identifies and accounts for regions of fractionation. RESULTS: In this paper, we present a new consolidation algorithm that extends and improves previous work in several directions. We extend the notion of the fractionation region to use information provided by regions where this process is still ongoing. The new algorithm can optionally work with this new definition of fractionation region and is able to process not only tetraploids but also genomes that have undergone hexaploidization and polyploidization events of higher order. Finally, this algorithm reduces the asymptotic time complexity of consolidation from quadratic to linear dependence on the genome size. The new algorithm is applied both to plant genomes and to simulated data to study the effect of fractionation in ancient hexaploids.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
