Confocal microscopy is performed with nuclear reporters and stains, nuclear segmentation with ilastik is conducted, and a machine learning method is used to classify the ploidy of each nucleus. Colors ...

Assistant Professor of Biology Vicki Losick admits she harbors a desire to change the world a little bit. “I want to make ‘polyploidy’ a household word,” Losick said in her Higgins Hall office, next ...

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, and its ...

Polyploid genomes, formed through repeated whole-genome duplication and hybridization, underpin the evolution of many important crops, yet their internal structure often remains unresolved when ...

Most vertebrates have two sets of chromosomes, one from their mother and one from their father – including humans who are thus diploid. In contrast, polyploidy, meaning to possess three or more sets ...

Biologists may have pinpointed for the first time the mechanism responsible for cell polyploidy, a state in which cells contain more than two paired sets of chromosomes. An international team of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Polyploidization is an important speciation mechanism in the barley genus Hordeum. To analyze evolutionary changes after allopolyploidization, ...

And if you’re wondering how octoploid strawberries rank among polyploid plants, they’re far behind the current known record ...

A review of work on the origin and phylogenetic relationships of six systems of allopolyploid homosporous ferns and their progenitors serves as the basis for assessing the history and status of ideas ...
