Ferns, defined by large genomes, high chromosome counts, and pervasive aneuploidy as well as intraspecific polyploid complexity, diverge significantly from the classical genetic theories and analytical frameworks largely developed based on diploid models. Studies leveraging second-generation sequencing technologies have long centered on neutral variation in noncoding genomic regions.
