An Out-of-Patagonia dispersal explains most of the worldwide genetic distribution in Saccharomyces eubayanus

Roberto F. Nespolo, Carlos A. Villarroel, Christian I. Oporto, Sebastián M. Tapia, Franco Vega-Macaya, Kamila Urbina, Matteo De Chiara, Simone Mozzachiodi, Ekaterina Mikhalev, Dawn Anne Thompson, Pablo Saenz‐Agudelo, Gianni Liti, Francisco A. Cubillos

The paper analyzes the genetic distribution of Saccharomyces eubayanus and finds that Patagonian lineages likely originated the species, which then dispersed globally.
