Phased polyploid genomes provide deeper insight into the multiple origins of domesticated Saccharomyces cerevisiae beer yeasts

|
By Omar Abou Saada, Andreas Tsouris, Chris Large
| Cell Press Verified
Highlights • We sequenced and phased 35 S. cerevisiae polyploid beer-related genomes • The three main beer-yeast subpopulations were derived from different admixtures • Highly divergent genes are related to functions relevant to the brewing environment • Phased genomes revealed differential evolutionary trajectories of individual genes Summary Yeasts, and in particular Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have been used for brewing beer for thousands of years.

nPhase: an accurate and contiguous phasing method for polyploids

|
By Chris Eberlein, Anne Friedrich, Omar Abou Saada, Andreas Tsouris
| Genome Biology Verified
Genome Biology volume 22, Article number: 126 (2021) Cite this article 459 Accesses 21 Altmetric Metrics details Abstract While genome sequencing and assembly are now routine, we do not have a full, precise picture of polyploid genomes. No existing polyploid phasing method provides accurate and contiguous haplotype predictions.
