The paper identifies dynamic acetylation changes in yeast during heat shock, showing acetylation regulates protein activity to enhance the heat shock response.

The paper shows that Hog1 in wild S. cerevisiae strains has a broader stress response than in lab strains, with distinct non-osmotic stress gene regulation.

The paper introduces MIC*, a framework that translates ordinal viability data into biologically interpretable units, improving analysis of microbial survival assays.

The paper develops plasmids for CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing in yeast using retron-mediated amplification of repair templates, achieving high editing efficiencies.

This study identifies molecular mechanisms underlying stress resistance in yeast by analyzing natural genetic variation and cross protection responses to different stressors.

The paper links gene expression variation to a stress defense trait in yeast by identifying a QTL hotspot locus affecting ethanol-induced cross protection.
