A yeast love triangle: multiple hybridizations shape genome evolution in the Pichia cactophila species complex.

V. Mixao, E. Saus, F. Hagen, T. Boekhout, R. Stevens, T. Gabaldon

The paper sequenced and compared genomes of yeast species in the Pichia cactophila complex to show recurrent hybridizations and propose new species classifications.

Genomic evidence for a hybrid origin of the yeast opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans

V. Mixao, T. Gabaldon

The paper provides genomic evidence that Candida albicans originated from a hybrid ancestor, showing patterns of heterozygosity inconsistent with vertical evolution.
