Understanding the influence of ploidy on evolution is only possible through experimental evolution organisms such as yeast. (phys.org)
Organisms differ in ploidy, or how many copies of the genome they carry in their cells. (phys.org)
To address key questions of meiotic ploidy reduction, we screen for and characterise novel meiotic proteins, focusing on proteins that are specifically involved in meiotic chromosome segregation and chromosome dynamics in mice. (dresden-ipp.de)
