The gene duplication page is phrased in such a way that it appears to cover every case, but without much detail;
genome duplication seems to be another particular case, but that redirects to
polyploidy, which discusses it more as a condition than an event. Then there's the pages at
2R hypothesis and
paleopolyploidy, which both related to the latter. What seems to be not really covered at all is the duplication of a single chromosome, which IIRC is also believed to occur (as an EB event, as well as a developmental abnormality). But I might be getting all this muddled: I'll ask the MCB people if they can add some clarifying content to distinguish the different articles, or else to help merge them, if that's not justified at present.
