One such mechanism is polyploidy, where organisms carry extra copies of their genomes. While polyploidy provides genetic redundancy by allowing mutations without affecting survival, it can also ...

Polyploidy often occurs in human diseases and cancers, and its effect on cell fate was unclear. Now, however, researchers ...

[44] Combining a limited karyotype with the more objective microarray ... SNP arrays have the added advantage of the ability to identify polyploidy and long stretches of homozygosity that may ...
