Tetraploidy accelerates adaptation under drug selection in a fungal pathogen
Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022 Baseline ploidy significantly impacts evolutionary trajectories and, specifically, tetraploidy is associated with higher rates of adaptation relative to haploidy and diploidy.

Role of HIV RNA structure in recombination and speciation: romping in purine A, keeps HTLV away
, 2013 Extreme enrichment of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) RNA genome for the purine A parallels the mild purine-loading of the RNAs of most organisms.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, January 2026.ABSTRACT Parthenogenesis, or all‐female clonal reproduction, is rare among vertebrates. This is often attributed to the selective disadvantages of assumed reduction of genetic diversity in the absence of sex. However, parthenogenetic vertebrates have highly complex evolutionary histories, with most arising through hybridisation and many being polyploid.

Single locus complementary sex determination in Hymenoptera: an "unintelligent" design? [PDF]
, 2006 The haplodiploid sex determining mechanism in Hymenoptera (males are haploid, females are diploid) has played an important role in the evolution of this insect order.

On the performance of a hybrid genetic algorithm in dynamic environments [PDF]
, 2013 The ability to track the optimum of dynamic environments is important in many practical applications. In this paper, the capability of a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) to track the optimum in some dynamic environments is investigated for different ...

Genome Changes After Gene Duplication: Haploidy vs. Diploidy [PDF]
Genetics, 2010 Abstract Since genome size and the number of duplicate genes observed in genomes increase from haploid to diploid organisms, diploidy might provide more evolutionary probabilities through gene duplication. It is still unclear how diploidy promotes genomic evolution in detail.

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.We assembled four Cardinium hertigii draft genomes: cEina3 causes cytoplasmic incompatibility, cEhis1 induces parthenogenesis, cEper2 is associated with parthenogenesis, and cEina2 infects asymptomatically. All four strains are closely related and hosted by Encarsia parasitoid wasps, but key differences exist, including their metabolic potential and ...

Muller's ratchet and mutational meltdowns [PDF]
, 1993 We extend our earlier work on the role of deleterious mutations in the extinction of obligately asexual populations. First, we develop analytical models for mutation accumulation that obviate the need for time-consuming computer simulations in certain ...
