Both homeologous exchanges and homeologous expression bias are generally found in
most allopolyploid species. Whether homeologous exchanges and homeologous …

Genome change does not occur accidentally. The conventional Modern Synthesis view of
gradual evolution guided solely by natural selection fails to incorporate many important …

The type strains of 10 small-spored species of the ascomycetous yeast genus
Metschnikowia usually form a compact group on the phylogenetic trees inferred from …

Polyploidy is an important generator of evolutionary novelty across diverse groups in the
Tree of Life, including many crops. However, the impact of whole-genome duplication …

Peanut (Arachis) is a key oil and protein crop worldwide with large genome. The genomes of
diploid and tetraploid peanuts have been sequenced, which were compared to decipher …

Whole-genome duplication (polyploidization) is among the most dramatic mutational
processes in nature, so understanding how natural selection differs in polyploids relative to …

Dioecy is rare in flowering plants (5–6% of species), but is often controlled genetically by sex-
linked regions (SLRs). It has so far been unclear whether, polyploidy affects sex …

Most population genomic tools rely on accurate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
calling and filtering to meet their underlying assumptions. However, genomic complexity …

The link between polyploidy and enhanced adaptation to environmental stresses could be a
result of polyploidy itself harbouring higher tolerance to adverse conditions, or polyploidy …

The “genomic shock” hypothesis posits that unusual challenges to genome integrity such as
whole genome duplication may induce chaotic genome restructuring. Decades of research …
