Polyploidy is a state where a cell contains more copies of the genetic material than the usual "diploid" cell, which contains two copies. Polyploidy often occurs in human diseases and cancers ...

This condition, called polyploidy, reduces or eliminates genetic exchange with other yeast strains, therefore maintaining the brewing characteristics of yeast strains. Polyploidy is also found in ...

Charlotte Lindqvist is an evolutionary biologist. Her research uses genomics to understand speciation processes, polyploidy events and hybridization in both animals and plants. She is an expert on the ...

2). For unknown reasons, trisomies are positively associated with advanced maternal age. Polyploidy refers to the presence of an extra set of chromosomes. Triploidy, for example, usually occurs ...

arabica a survival advantage that enabled it to thrive and adapt. "It's often argued that a hybrid polyploidy event can give an immediate evolutionary advantage given that two sets of chromosomes ...

Founder of the Black Males in Engineering project, Brian A. Burt, is leading research into how Black men are often excluded from science, technology, engineering and mathematics — or STEM — industries ...

polyploidy is more common; and plants additionally contain chloroplastic DNA. The calcium-dependent protein kinase ZmCPK39 is identified as a key immune component in maize infected with foliar ...

Mayden's research interests are diverse, ranging from theoretical aspects of species, concepts and systematics, inventory of fishes, discovery and descriptions of species, revisionary studies, ...

Lectures consist of critical discussion of topics including species concepts, local adaptation and diversification, morphological and molecular evolution, mating systems, and the roles of ...

(A) We created unique cells with double the usual number of chromosomes to investigate the relationship between polyploidy and DNA damage.(B) After treatment with the anti-cancer drug cisplatin ...
