- Chromosomal fusions trigger rediploidization of autopolyploid genomes
A study on snow carps reveals that chromosomal fusions initiate rediploidization in autopolyploid genomes following whole-genome duplication. The findings, published in Nature, highlight a key mechanism in genome evolution after polyploidy.
