Genomic and ecological factors shaping specialism and generalism across an entire subphylum

D. A. Opulente, A. L. LaBella, M.-C. Harrison, J. F. Wolters, C. Liu, Y. Li, J. Kominek, J. L. Steenwyk, H. R. Stoneman, J. VanDenAvond, C. R. Miller, Q. K. Langdon, M. Silva, C. Goncalves, E. J. Ubbelohde, , C. T. Hittinger

The paper analyzes genomic, metabolic, and ecological data from nearly all Saccharomycotina yeast species to show that intrinsic genetic factors, not trade-offs or extrinsic factors, drive variation in niche breadth.

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.

Eukaryotic acquisition of a bacterial operon

J. Kominek, D. T. Doering, D. A. Opulente, X.-X. Shen, X. Zhou, J. DeVirgilio, A. B. Hulfachor, C. P. Kurtzman, A. Rokas, C. T. Hittinger

The paper reports the horizontal transfer of a bacterial operon into yeast, showing its adaptation to eukaryotic gene expression and iron acquisition in an insect gut environment.
