The dynamic karyotypic landscape
The budding yeast colonies shown here vary in size and purple pigment intensity, reflecting differences in chromosome copy number. Quantifying their relative frequencies within populations revealed complex dynamics underlying the stability of individual chromosomes and the population genetics of aneuploidy. Hénault et al. 2026
