The paper constructs a barcoded insertional mutant library in Trichoderma atroviride to enable high-throughput functional genomics in filamentous fungi.

This study identifies two genes in a two-component system whose deletion increases PHB productivity in Cupriavidus basilensis under non-stress conditions.

This study identifies an efficient pathway for D-galacturonic acid metabolism in Rhodosporidium toruloides, demonstrating its potential for pectin-rich waste conversion.

The paper identifies and characterizes 20 constitutive promoters in Rhodosporidium toruloides for use in genetic engineering and metabolic pathway optimization.

This paper demonstrates the first use of CRISPR-Cas9 for targeted gene disruption in Rhodosporidium toruloides, achieving efficient multiplexed genome editing for bioproduct engineering.

This paper engineers Kluyveromyces marxianus to create a synthetic biology platform with enhanced traits for industrial applications.

This study identifies eight housekeeping genes responsible for Saccharomyces cerevisiae's thermotolerance advantage over S. paradoxus using a new mapping approach in a sterile hybrid.

The paper develops a high-throughput genetics method for Rhodosporidium toruloides, identifies essential genes, and reveals key processes in lipid metabolism.
