Evaluating domestication signatures beyond model organisms is essential for a thorough
understanding of the genotype-phenotype relationship in wild and human-related …

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be found in the wild and is also
frequently associated with human activities. Despite recent insights into the phylogeny of this …

Production of leavened bread dates to the second millennium BCE. Since then, the art of
bread making has developed, yet the evolution of bread-associated microbial species …

Although the typical genomic and phenotypic changes that characterize the evolution of
organisms under the human domestication syndrome represent textbook examples of rapid …

The adaptation of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to man-made environments for the
fermentation of foodstuffs and beverages illustrates the scientific, social, and economic …

The maintenance of microbial species in different environmental conditions is associated
with adaptive microevolutionary changes that are shown here to occur within the …

The study of microbe domestication has witnessed major advances that contribute to a better
understanding of the emergence of artificially selected phenotypes and set the foundations …

Large-scale chromosomal rearrangements are an important source of evolutionary novelty
that may have reshaped the genomes of existing yeast species. They dramatically alter …

The species Saccharomyces cerevisiae includes natural strains, clinical isolates, and a
large number of strains used in human activities. The aim of this work was to investigate how …

The ecology and genetic diversity of the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae before
human domestication remain poorly understood. Taiwan is regarded as part of this yeast's …
