Hybridization is an evolutionary phenomenon that has fascinated biologists for centuries.
Prior to the advent of whole-genome sequencing, it was clear that hybridization had played …

Most heritable information in eukaryotic cells is encoded in the nuclear genome, with
inheritance patterns following classic Mendelian segregation. Genomes residing in the …

The species tree paradigm that dominates current molecular systematic practice infers
species trees from collections of sequences under assumptions of the multispecies …

Cross-species gene transfer is often associated with bacteria, which have evolved several
mechanisms that facilitate horizontal DNA exchange. However, the increased availability of …

Species is the fundamental unit to quantify biodiversity. In recent years, the model yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has seen an increased number of studies related to its …

Companies based on alcoholic fermentation products, such as wine, beer and biofuels, use
yeasts to make their products. Each industrial process utilizes different media conditions …

A growing body of research suggests that the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is important
for temperature adaptation. In the yeast genus Saccharomyces, species have diverged in …

Recent advances in long-read sequencing technology have allowed for single-molecule
sequencing of entire mitochondrial genomes, opening the door for direct investigation of the …

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a highly advanced model system for
studying genetics, cell biology and systems biology. Over the past decade, the application of …

Hybridization can result in reproductively isolated and phenotypically distinct lineages that
evolve as independent hybrid species. How frequently hybridization leads to speciation …
