Most fermented products are generated by a mixture of microbes. These microbial consortia
perform various biological activities responsible for the nutritional, hygienic, and aromatic …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae and related species, the main workhorses of wine fermentation,
have been exposed to stressful conditions for millennia, potentially resulting in adaptive …

Pangenomes provide access to an accurate representation of the genetic diversity of
species, both in terms of sequence polymorphisms and structural variants (SVs). Here we …

The human genome is generally organized into stable chromosomes, and only tumor cells
are known to accumulate kilobase (kb)-sized extrachromosomal circular DNA elements …

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be found in the wild and is also
frequently associated with human activities. Despite recent insights into the phylogeny of this …

Beer is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages and is produced by the fermentation of sugars
derived from starches present in cereal grains. Contrary to lager beers, made by bottom …

Over the past few years, genome sequences have become available from an increasing
range of yeast species, which has led to notable advances in our understanding of …

Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) facilitates adaptive evolution by allowing rapid
and extensive gene copy number variation and is implicated in the pathology of cancer and …

The domestication of the wine yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is thought to be
contemporary with the development and expansion of viticulture along the Mediterranean …

Considerable progress in our understanding of yeast genomes and their evolution has been
made over the last decade with the sequencing, analysis, and comparisons of numerous …
