The paper constructs a reference genome for Starmerella batistae and annotates 29 Starmerella species, revealing a close evolutionary relationship with Schizosaccharomyces pombe and suggesting alternative sophorolipid production pathways.

This study investigates how hybridisation in Saccharomyces species affects antifungal drug resistance by identifying QTLs and potential causal genes involved in resistance to fluconazole, micafungin, and flucytosine.

The paper develops a genome-scale metabolic model for S. pastorianus to predict metabolic pathway evolution and aid industrial strain optimization.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of Kazachstania bulderi, a non-conventional yeast, using long-read sequencing to support biotechnological applications.

This study shows that gene copy number correlates with expression levels of orthologous genes in Saccharomyces pastorianus strains during fermentation, influencing fermentation properties through differential contributions of S. cerevisiae and S. eubayanus alleles.

The paper analyzes ncRNA synthetic genetic networks in yeast, revealing environmental-dependent roles for U3 snoRNA paralogs and network plasticity.

The paper identifies functional non-coding RNAs in yeast that act in trans to regulate protein-coding genes and cellular phenotypes across different environmental conditions.

HybridMine annotates hybrid aneuploid genomes by predicting parental alleles, enabling functional analysis of complex yeast hybrids.
