✨ Latest exciting story of the group in @nature.com. Here, we go beyond SNPs and built a species-wide atlas of genetic variants in yeast. With >1,000 near T2T genomes, we show how large genomic variations affect trait diversity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Incredible new paper from @schacherer.bsky.social et al rdcu.be/eLcTH

New preprint from the lab: we show that the ability to switch mating type was lost at least 13 times independently in the evolution of S. cerevisiae. At least 27% of isolates are heterothallic with a strong association with polyploidy and heterozygosity www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Delighted to see @sakshikhaiwal.bsky.social work in print www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... Huge thank to @univcotedazur.bsky.social for providing extensive support on this project, @pedrobeltrao.bsky.social and Jonas groups for huge help, @cnrs.fr @ircan.bsky.social

Ten postdoc positions available at VTT in various fields, including one on bioprocess modelling and one on automated fungal strain construction. ats.talentadore.com/apply/apply-...

🚨 We're hiring! 🚨 A 2-year postdoc position is now open in our lab to explore the fascinating world of yeast polyploid genomes, their structure, stability, and adaptive potential. 🔗 More info here: docs.google.com/document/d/1... Please repost! #Postdoc #Genomics #Yeast #Polyploidy #Evolution

Really excited to see this one out! I was involved in this joint study with @briangibsontub.bsky.social, Nubia G-V, Mathias H, helping with sequencing and genomics. We characterize strains isolated from Ecuadorian maize chicha, and found many diastatic strains carrying STA1! doi.org/10.1016/j.fm...

Creating Better Brewing #Yeast With the 1011 Yeast Genomes Data Sets: @suregork.bsky.social & Nils Rettberg reanalyze large-scale ‘omics’ data sets to identify strains with better #brewing performance 🍺🍺🍺 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Interested in how omics data sets can be used for brewing yeast development? Here is a short overview how recent data sets derived from the 1011 yeast genomes project can be used to identify potentially interesting strains for brewing. doi.org/10.1002/yea.... #yeast #saccharomyces #beer

Has anyone ever notice peptone brand would influence antibiotic resistance in #yeast? We suddenly started having issues with our transformations with NAT and HYG selection (no colonies appearing with plasmids that have worked well before).
