Check out this study led by Kyle T. David 🍄 addressing how gene family dynamics drive metabolic innovation in yeasts! Gene expansions and contractions influence trait evolution, with key gene families affecting multiple traits. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… RokasLab

Very proud of my team, having taught a successful course on biodiversity genomics with k_nasvall and nicol rueda at Ikiam in Ecuador with participants from 5 Neotropical countries. All course materials are free to use here: github.com/rapidspeciatio…

Just arrived!!!

La biología es chida! (No la usen para justificar ser basura con otras personas)

Recurrent introgression and geographical stratification shape Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the Neotropics biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_evobio

Beautiful paper on the population genomic analysis of Mexican Agave isolates! Amazing dataset as well! Congrats Lucia Morales, Eugenio Mancera, Genetic Systems Mx and co! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This is our genomic portray of a novel, diverse, and highly introgressed population of S. cerevisiae from the Neotropics. With 200+ new genomes of yeasts from open agave fermentations in 🇲🇽 and as part of the #YeastGenomesMx consortium efforts biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵🧵🧵

Second talk (loving the diversity of systems at #EMBOEvoEco) is Eugenio Mancera studying S. cerevisiae/S. paradoxus hybridisation & introgression in tequila/mezcal agave fermentations (see up to ~40% hybrids, and these contain a continuum from ~90% cerevisiae to ~90% paradoxus).

Very excited to share the preprint of our latest work “Predicting the natural yeast phenotypic landscape with machine learning”, now available at: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… This research was part of my PhD at niceyeastlab. Here are few highlights from our study:

Finally out! Everything started with Gianni Liti (in the niceyeastlab at IRCAN) and finished with the support of La Com EURECOM. Thanks! Check this out Matteo De Chiara!
