Ancient duplication events and a high rate of retention of extant pairs of duplicate genes
have contributed to an abundance of duplicate genes in plant genomes. These duplicates …

We summarize, in this review, the evidence that genomic balance influences gene
expression, quantitative traits, dosage compensation, aneuploid syndromes, population …

The determination of the chimpanzee genome sequence provides a means to study both
structural and functional aspects of the evolution of the human genome. Here we compare …

The concept of genetic balance traces back to the early days of genetics. Additions or
subtractions of single chromosomes to the karyotype (aneuploidy) produced greater impacts …

Classical studies in genetics involving aneuploidy and ploidy comparisons and sex-
determination mechanisms indicated a balance phenomenon such that changes of …

The evolution processes of complex systems carry key information in the systems' functional
properties. Applying machine learning algorithms, we demonstrate that the historical …

Identifying the properties of gene networks that influence their evolution is a fundamental
research goal. However, modes of evolution cannot be inferred solely from the distribution of …

Organismic evolution requires that variation at distinct hierarchical levels and attributes be
coherently integrated, often in the face of disparate environmental and genetic pressures. A …

Genes encoding interacting proteins tend to be co‐retained after whole‐genome duplication
(WGD). The preferential retention after WGD has been explained by the gene balance …

A century ago experiments with the flowering plant Datura stramonium and the fruit fly
Drosophila melanogaster revealed that adding an extra chromosome to a karyotype was …
