This paper presents 142 high-quality yeast genomes to improve pangenome understanding, identifying structural variants and complex genomic regions.

The paper analyzes polyploidization events in Brettanomyces bruxellensis yeast using long-read sequencing to reveal distinct genomic trajectories and donor origins.

This study identifies genetic factors underlying metabolic differences between flor and wine yeasts during fermentation, revealing adaptive divergence and potential for improving oenological traits.

nPhase is a polyploidy-agnostic phasing method that achieves high accuracy and contiguity in haplotype prediction for polyploid genomes.

The paper shows low-frequency genetic variants contribute significantly to phenotypic variation in a yeast population using a diallel cross experiment and GWAS.
