The paper examines natural variation in galactose and melibiose metabolism in fission yeast, identifying gene loss, repression, amplification, and horizontal gene transfer as mechanisms shaping metabolic diversity.

The paper introduces a web platform for exploring gene conservation in fission yeasts using orthogroup data from multiple species.

This study identifies Npr1 as a nucleophagy receptor in fission yeast and shows that chromatin-nuclear envelope tethering inhibits nucleophagy.

The paper identifies divergent tdk1 homologs in fission yeast as active killer meiotic drivers, showing functional divergence and long-term evolutionary persistence.

The paper investigates the evolutionary mechanisms of wtf meiotic driver genes in S. pombe using long-read genome assemblies and identifies gene conversion and recombination events contributing to their diversity and persistence.

This paper introduces an improved tetracycline-inducible expression system for fission yeast that enables control of gene expression in non-dividing cells and supports synchronous meiosis induction.

This paper improves the auxin-inducible degron system in fission yeast by optimizing the degron, inducer, and F-box protein, achieving inducible lethality for essential genes.
