The impact of one-decade ecological disturbance on genetic changes : a study on the brine shrimp Artemia urmiana from Urmia Lake, Iran [PDF]
Urmia Lake, the largest natural habitat of the brine shrimp Artemia urmiana, has progressively desiccated over the last two decades, resulting in a loss of 80% of its surface area and producing thousands of hectares of arid salty land.

Unraveling the Genome of a High Yielding Colombian Sugarcane Hybrid
Recent developments in High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) technologies and bioinformatics, including improved read lengths and genome assemblers allow the reconstruction of complex genomes with unprecedented quality and contiguity. Sugarcane has one of the

Ploidy and fruit trait variation in oil-tea Camellia: Implications for ploidy breeding
Plant polyploidy often occurs in conjunction with higher yield and superior quality. Therefore, obtaining polyploid germplasms is a significant part of breeding.

A comparison of methods for determining ploidy in white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) [PDF]
Release of sturgeon with abnormal ploidy into the wild may result in reduced fitness due to lowered fertility in the F2 and subsequent generations. Further, there is evidence that ploidy affects reproductive development and caviar yield.

Chromosome-breakage genomic instability and chromothripsis in breast cancer [PDF]
Background: Chromosomal breakage followed by faulty DNA repair leads to gene amplifications and deletions in cancers. However, the mere assessment of the extent of genomic changes, amplifications and deletions may reduce the complexity of genomic data ...

Recombining your way out of trouble: the genetic architecture of hybrid fitness under environmental stress [PDF]
Hybridization between species is a fundamental evolutionary force that can both promote and delay adaptation. There is a deficit in our understanding of the genetic basis of hybrid fitness, especially in non-domesticated organisms.

Bananas are vital for food security in many countries, and half of banana production relies solely on ‘Cavendish’ (AAA), which is presently threatened by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) tropical race 4.

Ploidy dynamics and evolvability in fungi [PDF]
Rapid responses to acute stresses are essential for stress survival and are critical to the ability of fungal pathogens to adapt to new environments or hosts. The rapid emergence of drug resistance is used as a model for how fungi adapt and survive stress conditions that inhibit the growth of progenitor cells. Aneuploidy and loss of heterozygosity (LOH)
