Precision and organization govern the cell cycle, ensuring normal proliferation. However,
some cells may undergo abnormal cell divisions (neosis) or variations of mitotic cycles …

The sequence assembly algorithms have rapidly evolved with the vigorous growth of
genome sequencing technology over the past two decades. Assembly mainly uses the …

Background Polyploidy is very common in plants and can be seen as one of the key drivers
in the domestication of crops and the establishment of important agronomic traits. It can be …

Raphanobrassica (R r R r C r C r, 2n= 4x= 36), which is generated by distant hybridization
between the maternal parent Raphanus sativus (R s R s, 2n= 2x= 18) and the paternal …

Genomics has transformed our understanding of the genetic architecture of traits and the
genetic variation present in plants. Here, we present a review of how RNA-seq can be …

Polyploidy is a widespread phenomenon throughout eukaryotes. Due to the coexistence of
duplicated genomes, polyploids offer unique challenges for estimating gene expression …

Seagrasses are important marine ecosystem engineers but anthropogenic impacts and
climate change have led to numerous population declines globally. In South Africa, Zostera …

Transcriptome assembly using next-generation sequencing data is an important step in a
wide range of biological studies at the molecular level. The quality of computationally …

Rising mean and variance in temperatures elevates threats to endangered freshwater
species such as lake sturgeon, Acipenser fulvescens. Previous research demonstrated that …

The lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) is an ancient, octoploid fish faced with
conservation challenges across its range in North America, but a lack of genomic resources …
