Repeated horizontal gene transfer of GALactose metabolism genes violates Dollo's law of irreversible loss

Max A. B. Haase, Jacek Kominek, Dana A. Opulente…·Chris Todd Hittinger

The paper shows that galactose metabolism genes can be horizontally transferred between yeast species, allowing for the reacquisition of a lost trait after millions of years.

Evidence for loss and adaptive reacquisition of alcoholic fermentation in an early-derived fructophilic yeast lineage

Carla Gonçalves, Jennifer H. Wisecaver, Jacek Kominek…·Paula M. Gonçalves

The paper shows that fructophilic yeasts in the W/S clade lost and reacquired alcoholic fermentation genes via horizontal gene transfer, adapting to high sugar environments.
