Buffering of developmental noise provides a mechanism for heterosis in both polyploid and diploid hybrids
2026-05-30
Abstract excerpt
Using an abstract computational model of multicellular development, I show that the deleterious effects of gene expression noise on development are heavily buffered by increased ploidy, both from haploid to diploid cells and from diploid to tetraploid ones. Because the development of large multicellular organisms requires at least millions of individual cell divisions and many specifications of cell fate, it is li...
