This study shows that divergent ecological selection in yeast leads to reproductive isolation and genomic instability through hybrid breakdown and structural variants.

The paper identifies two divergent structural variation trajectories in HGSOC that impact patient survival and reveals novel candidate driver genes and mtDNA mutations associated with prognosis.

The paper analyzes commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae baker's yeasts, revealing strain redundancy, genome plasticity, and limited colonization of human niches compared to commercial strains.

The paper analyzes RNA sequence to structure relationships using comprehensive mutagenesis data from self-cleaving ribozymes to identify structural features and functional critical nucleotides.

The paper presents seven new long-read genomes of wild Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains from East Asia, revealing early divergence and structural variation in their evolutionary history.

The paper develops universal reference primers for qPCR-based telomere length measurement in any vertebrate species.
