Challenging diagnoses of tetraploidy/diploidy and trisomy 12: utility of first-tier prenatal testing methods [PDF]
Introduction: Chromosome mosaicism and low-grade mosaicism present a challenge for diagnosis in the era of SNP array and NGS. Tetraploidy is a rare numerical chromosomal abnormality characterized by the presence of four copies of each chromosome.

Calcium Homeostasis Is Involved in the Modulation of Gene Expression by MSL2 in Imbalanced Genomes [PDF]
Aneuploidy is highly detrimental to organisms due to genomic imbalance. However, the influence of parental unbalanced genome conditions on gene expression of their offspring remains unclear, particularly in animals.

Ploidy Variation and Spontaneous Haploid-Diploid Switching of Candida glabrata Clinical Isolates
The human fungal pathogen Candida glabrata is phylogenetically closely related to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a model eukaryotic organism. Unlike S. cerevisiae, which has both haploid and diploid forms and a complete sexual cycle, C. glabrata has long been

Genomic convergence toward diploidy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
Genome size, a fundamental aspect of any organism, is subject to a variety of mutational and selection pressures. We investigated genome size evolution in haploid, diploid, and tetraploid initially isogenic lines of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae ...
