This study examines genomic and phenotypic diversity in Yarrowia lipolytica, showing how specialization and admixture drive adaptation to different environments and industrial traits.

This study shows that host-shift adaptation in S. eubayanus leads to genomic changes, particularly structural variants, linked to sugar metabolism and host-specific traits.

The paper identifies allelic variation in MAL33 as a driver of ecological adaptation in maltose metabolism among Saccharomyces eubayanus strains.

The paper identifies a new Saccharomyces species, S. chiloensis sp. nov., using integrative taxonomy methods, showing genetic and reproductive divergence from S. uvarum.

This study identifies structural variants in a domesticated Lachancea cidri yeast strain associated with improved fermentation traits compared to wild isolates.

This study uses experimental evolution to simulate the domestication of wild yeast under brewing conditions, showing rapid genetic and phenotypic changes in response to ethanol selection.
