This project investigates the mechanisms of polyploidy, where organisms have multiple sets of chromosomes, focusing on its triggers, survival factors, and population stabilization. By studying both plants and animals, it aims to uncover genetic and environmental influences on polyploid formation and recovery, utilizing…
Many eukaryotes have more than two sets of chromosomes due to whole-genome duplication (WGD) and are called polyploids. WGDs explain many cases of speciation bursts and evolutionary inventions.
Some evidence suggests an adaptive advantage of polyploids: the origins of many ancient WGDs correspond to the times of extreme climate change, and contemporary polyploids often occupy harsher environments compared to their ancestors.
However, most new polyploids are not as lucky and rarely survive.
To ex…
