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

Polyploidy, a state in which the chromosome complement has undergone an increase, is a
major force in evolution. Understanding the consequences of polyploidy has received much …

Genome duplication with hybridization, or allopolyploidization, occurs in animals, fungi and
plants, and is especially common in crop plants. There is an increasing interest in the study …

Background Polyploidy has played a prominent role in shaping the genomic architecture of
the angiosperms. Through allopolyploidization, several modern Gossypium (cotton) species …

Read mapping is a fundamental part of next-generation genomic research but is
complicated by genome duplication in many plants. Categorizing DNA sequence reads into …

Allopolyploidy is an evolutionary and mechanistically intriguing process, in that it entails the
reconciliation of two or more sets of diverged genomes and regulatory interactions. In this …

Background Genes duplicated by polyploidy (homoeologs) may be differentially expressed
in plant tissues. Recent research using DNA microarrays and RNAseq data have described …

Polyploidy has played a pivotal and recurring role in angiosperm evolution. Allotetraploids
arise from hybridization between species and possess duplicated gene copies (homeologs) …

Standing between us and global food shortage are high yielding varieties of wheat, oilseed
rape, potato, maize and sugarcane. These come from diverse plant families, but share the …

Plant genera with both diploid and polyploid species are a common evolutionary
occurrence. Polyploids, especially allopolyploids such as cotton and wheat, are a great …
