Codon optimization, not gene content, predicts XYLose metabolism in budding yeasts

R. L. Nalabothu, K. J. Fisher, A. L. LaBella, T. A. Meyer, D. A. Opulente, J. F. Wolters, A. Rokas, C. T. Hittinger

This study identifies codon optimization as the key predictor of xylose metabolism in budding yeasts, showing that gene content alone is insufficient.

Overdominant mutations restrict adaptive loss of heterozygosity at linked loci

K. J. Fisher, R. C. Vignogna, G. I. Lang

The paper shows that overdominant mutations limit loss of heterozygosity at linked loci in yeast, leading to varied evolutionary outcomes.

Cause and consequences of genome duplication in haploid yeast populations

K. J. Fisher, S. W. Buskirk, R. C. Vignogna, D. A. Marad, G. I. Lang

This study shows that genome duplication in haploid yeast provides immediate fitness benefits but reduces long-term adaptability.
