Genomic mechanisms of climate adaptation in polyploid bioenergy switchgrass
Nature, 2021 Long-term climate change and periodic environmental extremes threaten food and fuel security1 and global crop productivity2–4. Although molecular and adaptive breeding strategies can buffer the effects of climatic stress and improve crop resilience5 ...

Science China Life Sciences, 2012 Polyploids are organisms with three or more complete chromosome sets. Polyploidization is widespread in plants and animals, and is an important mechanism of speciation. Genome sequencing and related molecular systematics and bioinformatics studies on plants and animals in recent years support the view that species have been shaped by whole genome ...

Polyploidization and domestication [PDF]
SCIENTIA SINICA Vitae, 2021 Crop domestication is the process to domesticate and propagate wild plants into cultivated crops, and its essence is to purposefully preserve the genetic variation information on the genome through artificial selection. Domestication has played an important role in the origin and evolution of human farming civilization, and promoted the sustainable ...

Polyploid giant cancer cells and cancer progression
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) are an important feature of cellular atypia, the detailed mechanisms of their formation and function remain unclear.

GenomeScope 2.0 and Smudgeplot for reference-free profiling of polyploid genomes
Nature Communications, 2020 An important assessment prior to genome assembly and related analyses is genome profiling, where the k-mer frequencies within raw sequencing reads are analyzed to estimate major genome characteristics such as size, heterozygosity, and repetitiveness ...

Learning to tango with four (or more): the molecular basis of adaptation to polyploid meiosis
Plant Reproduction, 2022 Polyploidy, which arises from genome duplication, has occurred throughout the history of eukaryotes, though it is especially common in plants. The resulting increased size, heterozygosity, and complexity of the genome can be an evolutionary opportunity ...

Priors for Genotyping Polyploids [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2019 AbstractMotivationEmpirical Bayes techniques to genotype polyploid organisms usually either (i) assume technical artifacts are knowna priorior (ii) estimate technical artifacts simultaneously with the prior genotype distribution. Case (i) is unappealing as it places the onus on the researcher to estimate these artifacts, or to ensure that there are no ...

Polyploidization and epigenetics [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2011 The occurrence of polyploidy, or whole genome duplication, can result in instantaneous speciation. Because new polyploids are immediately reproductively isolated from their non-polyploid congeners, polyploidization has played an important role in the diversification of flowering plants and some vertebrates.
