Mechanical shock during egg de-adhesion and post-ovulatory ageing contribute to spontaneous autopolyploidy in white sturgeon culture (Acipenser transmontanus) [PDF]
Spontaneous autopolyploidy, a 1.5x increase in genome size resulting from second polar body retention after fertilization, has been documented in cultured sturgeons, with the proportion of spontaneous autopolyploid progeny ranging widely among maternal ...

Identification of Paternal Uniparental Disomy on Chromosome 22 and a De-novo Deletion on Chromosome 18 in Individuals with Orofacial Clefts [PDF]
Background: Orofacial clefts are the most common malformations of the head and neck region. Genetic and environmental factors have been implicated in the etiology of these traits.Methods: We recently conducted genotyping of individuals from the African ...

A comparative analysis of DNA methylation in diploid and tetraploid apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.)
DNA methylation is one of the major epigenetic modifications. It is very important to the regulation of gene expression. Methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism (MSAP) profiling was applied to a diploid apple cultivar and its derived ...

Energetic budget of diploid and triploid eastern oysters during a summer die-off
Triploid oysters are widely used in off-bottom aquaculture of eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica. However, farmers of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) and Atlantic coast estuaries have observed unresolved, late-spring die-offs of triploid oysters ...

A comparison of biomarker responses in juvenile diploid and triploid African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, exposed to the pesticide butachlor [PDF]
Influence of waterborne butachlor (BUC), a commonly used pesticide, on morphometric, biochemical, and molecular biomarkers was evaluated in juvenile, full sibling, diploid and triploid African catfish (Clarias gariepinus).

Use of natural trophic resources by Eastern oysters and Pacific oysters of different ploidy
Ploidy manipulation, such as triploidy, in farmed oysters has been used as a tool to enhance oyster quality throughout all seasons because triploid oysters allocate less energy to gametogenesis, and therefore are deemed better performers than fertile ...

We reviewed the literature concerning the history of determination of the ploidy of human megakaryocytes and its relationship with diseases. The ploidy of rabbit megakaryocytes was analyzed by microspectrophotometry in 1964, and the analysis of the ploidy in human megakaryocytes was first performed in 1968. Presently, microphotometry and flow cytometry

Epigenetic consequences of interploidal hybridisation in synthetic and natural interspecific potato hybrids [PDF]
Interploidal hybridisation can generate changes in plant chromosome numbers, which might exert effects additional to the expected due to genome merger per se (i.e., genetic, epigenetic and phenotypic novelties).Wild potatoes are suitable to address this ...
