Age-specific genomic and transcriptomic variation reveals limited evidence for cis-regulatory interactions modulating aging in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Kaitlin M. McHugh, Felipe S. Barreto, Molly K. Burke

The paper examines genomic and transcriptomic variation in yeast to determine if cis-regulatory interactions influence aging, finding limited evidence for such interactions.

Crossing design shapes patterns of genetic variation in synthetic recombinant populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Mark Phillips, Ian C. Kutch, Kaitlin M. McHugh…·Molly K. Burke

This study compares genetic variation in synthetic recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae populations created by pairwise crossing versus mixing parental strains, finding that crossing increases initial genetic variation and adaptive potential.
