The paper studies subtelomeric repeat amplifications in yeast, showing they impact fitness and cellular phenotypes by moving from neutral to deleterious effects.

This study identifies Awp11, an adhesin-like effector in Candida glabrata, as a key determinant of strain-dependent immunogenicity and gut colonization.

This study develops a computational model of aneuploid karyotype dynamics in budding yeast, revealing that reversion mechanisms vary by chromosome and can involve coupled nondisjunction and recombination.

The paper analyzes TE load in yeast hybrids using long-read sequencing and in vivo assays, finding that transposition rates are not increased by hybridization but are influenced by genotype-specific factors.

This study investigates how hybridization in yeast leads to mitochondrial DNA degeneration and metabolic shifts through large-scale deletions and loss of respiratory function.

This study investigates whether hybridization increases transposable element accumulation in fungi, finding no evidence of increased transposition in natural hybrids and genotype-specific factors governing TE accumulation in lab hybrids.

The paper sequences the genome of an ancient beer yeast strain from Quebec and determines its origin and relationship to other yeast strains.
