Abstract excerpt
Polyploidy, the condition of possessing more than 2 complete chromosome sets in the same nucleus, is frequent in nature and has implications for a species' prospects for evolution. Newly formed polyploids, so-called neopolyploids, undergo a wide spectrum of genomic changes upon genome merger and duplication. Here, we review recent literature describing genomic and transcriptomic changes along the pathway from...
