The paper introduces a new assay, MAP-C, to study chromosomal contacts and identifies three transcription factors that mediate inducible interchromosomal pairing in yeast.

The paper uses Hi-C to assemble genomes from a mixed beer sample, identifying a novel yeast hybrid between Pichia membranifaciens and an undescribed yeast.

This study examines the 3D genome organization in diploid yeast, finding dynamic homolog proximity and environment-induced gene relocalization.

This study uses experimental evolution to identify genetic routes to yeast flocculation and shows that deleting FLO1 significantly reduces flocculation.

This study shows that differential paralog divergence in yeast species leads to distinct evolutionary trajectories under sulfate limitation.

This study shows that selection on heterozygosity drives adaptation in both intra- and interspecific yeast hybrids through loss of heterozygosity at the PHO84 gene.
