This comprehensive volume offers detailed protocols for uncovering evidence of polyploidy, a fascinating phenomenon in genetics. Spanning multiple chapters, it guides readers through a range of evolutionary experiments, evaluates the impacts of polyploidy, explores traces of ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs), models chromosome number evolution, employs population genomics approaches to study polyploidy, analyzes genetic data from polyploid populations, employs phylogenetic and phylogenomic methods, delves into gene expression, gene regulation, the unicellular alga Chlamydomonas, and the rapidly growing duckweed Spirodela. Written in the renowned format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, a comprehensive list of necessary materials and reagents, helpful tips on troubleshooting and potential pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Polyploidy: Method and Protocols serves as a valuable resource for experimental and computational (evolutionary) biologists, molecular biologists, and biotechnologists alike. By providing a comprehensive and up-to-date collection of protocols, this volume empowers researchers to explore the complexities of polyploidy and gain insights into its evolutionary implications and applications in various fields.
