Polyploidization, the combination and duplication of genomes, is a major driver of plant evolution and diversification. Yet ...

Electrophoretic data from 44 natural populations show that Plagiomnium medium is an allopolyploid, whose genome can be reconstructed by merely combining present-day variation of its extant haploid ...

Recent studies have shown that one of the parental subgenomes in ancient polyploids is generally more dominant, having retained more genes and being more highly expressed, a phenomenon termed ...

Understanding the relationship between mtDNA and animal growth could provide valuable information for selective breeding in aquaculture. However, the complex interactions between genetics and ...

Two invasive species of tumbleweed have hybridized to create a new species of tumbleweed that University of California, Riverside researchers found has dramatically expanded its geographic range in ...
