Deconstruction of Saccharomyces hybrids reveals multiple genomic regions required for thermotolerance

Nilima Walunjkar, James Miller, Lydia Levesque, Justin C. Fay

This study identifies genomic regions in Saccharomyces hybrids that contribute to thermotolerance by analyzing chromosome elimination and CRISPR-Cas9-induced loss of heterozygosity.

Pervasive divergence in protein thermostability is mediated by both structural changes and cellular environments

Nilima Walunjkar, Timothy Y Lai, Nasima Akhter…·Justin C. Fay

This study shows that both structural changes and cellular environments contribute to differences in protein thermostability between two yeast species.
