Extensive loss of cell cycle and DNA repair genes in an ancient lineage of bipolar budding yeasts

J. L. Steenwyk, D. Opulente, J. Kominek, X.-X. Shen, X. Zhou, A. L. LaBella, N. P. Bradley, B. F. Eichman, N. Cadez, D. Libkind, J. DeVirgilio, A. B. Hulfachor, C. P. Kurtzman, C. T. Hittinger, A. Rokas

This study identifies two lineages in Hanseniaspora yeasts, showing the FEL lineage lost more cell cycle and DNA repair genes than the SEL lineage, likely due to accelerated evolution and increased mutational load.
