Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the best studied eukaryote and a valuable tool for most
aspects of basic research on eukaryotic organisms. This is due to its unicellular nature …

Mutations in non-coding regulatory DNA sequences can alter gene expression, organismal
phenotype and fitness,–. Constructing complete fitness landscapes, in which DNA …

Domestication of the apple was mainly driven by interspecific hybridization. In the present
study, we report the haplotype-resolved genomes of the cultivated apple (Malus domestica …

Pangenomes provide access to an accurate representation of the genetic diversity of
species, both in terms of sequence polymorphisms and structural variants (SVs). Here we …

Yeasts occur in all environments and have been described as potent antagonists of various
plant pathogens. Due to their antagonistic ability, undemanding cultivation requirements …

Biodiversity loss from disturbances caused by human activities means that species are
disappearing at an ever increasing rate. The high number of species that have yet to be …

Genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) represent extensive knowledgebases that provide
a platform for model simulations and integrative analysis of omics data. This study …

Budding yeasts (subphylum Saccharomycotina) are found in every biome and are as
genetically diverse as plants or animals. To understand budding yeast evolution, we …

For thousands of years, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) has served as a
cell factory for the production of bread, beer, and wine. In more recent years, this yeast has …
