Mosaic variants resulting from postzygotic mutations are prevalent in the human genome and play important roles in human diseases.However,except for cancer-related variants,there is no collection of postzygotic mosaic...
Among tephritid fruit flies,hybridization has been found to produce local adaptation and speciation,and in the case of pest species,induce behavioral and ecological alterations that can adversely impact efficient pest...
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a range of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by: (1) impaired social interaction, (2) impaired verbal and non-verbal communication, and (3) restri...

Deleterious epistatic interactions in plant inter-and intraspecific hybrids can cause a phenomenon known as hybrid necrosis,characterized by a typical seedling phenotype whose main distinguishing features are dwarfism...
Interspecific hybrids often increase the levels of heterozygosity and hybrid vigor, but some interspecific hybrid seeds are aborted shortly after fertilization. The mechanism behind this postzygotic seed abortion is p...
