  Genetic instability from a single S phase after whole-genome duplication

  Extensive DNA damage occurs during the first interphase following induction of tetraploidy in human cells, largely as a result of the lower amount of protein relative to DNA.

  Repeated polyploidization of Gossypium genomes and the evolution of spinnable cotton fibres

  The Gossypium genus is used to investigate emergent consequences of polyploidy in cotton species; comparative genomic analyses reveal a complex evolutionary history including interactions among subgenomes that result in genetic novelty in elite cottons and provide insight into the evolution of spinnable fibres.
