From genotype to phenotype with 1,086 near telomere-to-telomere yeast genomes - Nature

| Nature Verified
Abstract Unravelling the genetic basis of the remarkable phenotypic diversity observed in natural populations remains a central challenge in biology1,2,3,4. Despite major advances5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19, no species has yet been characterized with a truly comprehensive atlas of genetic variation. Here we present an extensive genomic and phenotypic resource for the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae based on near telomere-to-telomere assemblies of 1,086 natural isolates.

A cross-species rescue by mating method to interrogate gene essentiality across the Saccharomyces genus.

| BioRxiv
Abstract The field of budding yeast research has long been empowered by the vast array of genetic tools and community resources available. Rescue by mating is one useful tool that entails mating of meiotic spores directly post-germination. This minimal cell division mating process facilitates mating based screens studying the effects of otherwise haploid lethal gene deletions. In this study, we describe the successful application of rescue by mating across two different Saccharomyces species: S.

Meiotic null MSH2 and SGS1 alleles in S. cerevisiae x S. uvarum hybrids result in near-haploid offspring with mixed parental chromosomal inheritance

By Maitreya J. Dunham
| BioRxiv
Abstract In the natural world, genetic isolation between closely related species is often maintained by direct F1 hybrid sterility or hybrid breakdown in subsequent generations. This phenomenon is also observed in microorganisms within species of the Saccharomyces clade, including the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
