The paper shows that Hog1 in wild S. cerevisiae strains has a broader stress response than in lab strains, with distinct non-osmotic stress gene regulation.

The paper introduces MIC*, a framework that translates ordinal viability data into biologically interpretable units, improving analysis of microbial survival assays.

The paper examines how diet affects host tolerance to a bacterial pathogen in birds, finding that protein-fed birds show greater transcriptional priming and tolerance during recovery.

This study identifies molecular mechanisms underlying stress resistance in yeast by analyzing natural genetic variation and cross protection responses to different stressors.
