Last paper in collaboration with Zhou XU. We explored the natural telomere length diversity in S. cerevisiae and found that ploidy level, and subtelomere structure drive telomere length variation. Higher ploidy levels lead to telomere elongation!

Sex or growth? Life must continually balance these strategies. We forced yeast to choose and captured the trade-off in real time. Evolution rewired existing regulators and fixed them through genetic assimilation, creating specialists for sex at the cost of growth.
