UConn Center on Aging researchers have published a new editorial in the journal Aging titled "Polyploidy-induced senescence: Linking development, differentiation, repair, and (possibly) cancer?" In ...

A study has shown that different plant species tackle the same evolutionary hurdle in different ways, and the findings may give insight into aggressive forms of cancer. Whole genome duplication (WGD) ...

Polyploid plants carry multiple ancestral genomes within a single nucleus, a condition that can boost adaptability but also trigger internal genetic conflict.

The Triticeae, a tribe within the Poaceae family, comprises species that exhibit remarkable genomic complexity and evolutionary dynamism. Recent advancements in phylogenetic methods and genomic ...
