Allopolyploidy is an important process in plant speciation,yet newly formed allopolyploid species typically suffer from extreme genetic bottlenecks.One escape from this impasse might be homoeologous meiotic pairing,du...
Many human diseases involve multiple genes in complex interactions.Large Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWASs) have been considered to hold promise for unraveling such interactions.However,statistic tests for high-o...
