Genomic convergence toward diploidy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Genome size, a fundamental aspect of any organism, is subject to a variety of mutational and selection pressures. We investigated genome size evolution in haploid, diploid, and tetraploid initially isogenic lines of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Over the course of approximately 1,800 generatio...
