Introns are ubiquitous in eukaryotic genomes and have long been considered as 'junk RNA'but the huge energy expenditure in their transcription, removal, and degradation …
Mobile genetic elements, elements that can move horizontally between genomes, have profound effects on their host's fitness. The p hage-inducible chromosomal island-l ike e …
Homing endonuclease genes (HEGs) are ubiquitous selfish elements that generate targeted double-stranded DNA breaks, facilitating the recombination of the HEG DNA sequence into …
In many yeast species, the three genes at the centre of the galactose catabolism pathway, GAL1, GAL10 and GAL7, are neighbours in the genome and form a metabolic gene cluster …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most commonly used yeast in wine, beer, and bread fermentations. However, Torulaspora delbrueckii has attracted interest in recent years due to …
Homing genetic elements are a form of selfish DNA that inserts into a specific target site in the genome and spreads through the population by a process of biased inheritance. Two …
Among molecular biologists, the group of fungi called Saccharomycotina is famous for its yeasts. These yeasts in turn are famous for what they have in common—genetic …
