Cis-regulatory divergence in gene expression between two thermally divergent yeast species.

This study examines cis-regulatory divergence between two yeast species, finding limited temperature-dependent effects and suggesting specific genes show differential responses.

Small effect-size mutations cumulatively affect yeast quantitative traits

The paper identifies small effect-size genes influencing yeast quantitative traits and shows they contribute significantly to trait variation.

Genome-wide screen for haploinsufficient cell size genes in the opportunistic yeast Candida albicans

The paper performs a genome-wide screen in Candida albicans to identify genes critical for cell size homeostasis, finding both conserved regulators and novel genes, some of which are linked to pathogenicity.

Natural Genetic Variation Modifies Gene Expression Dynamics at the Protein Level During Pheromone Response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The paper examines how genetic variation affects protein expression dynamics during pheromone response in yeast, showing that steady-state analysis is insufficient and that dynamic factors like synthesis and decay rates play key roles.
