THE expression of the same genes can be studied in both haploid and diploid cells of certain yeasts. If the genes control primarily haploid mating type traits, then it is interesting to know whether ...

Since the emergence of molecular genetics more than fifty years ago, scientists have tried to isolate haploid mammalian cells, that is, cells with half the number of chromosomes contained in somatic ...

Conventional crop breeding is not time-efficient for creating inbred lines with desired genetic traits owing to the diploid nature of plants, wherein they have two sets of chromosomes, one from each ...
