Wine is a product of microbial activities and microbe–microbe interactions. Yeasts are the
principal microorganisms responsible for the evolution and fulfillment of alcoholic …

Cellular metabolism evolves through changes in the structure and quantitative states of
metabolic networks. Here, we explore the evolutionary dynamics of metabolic states by …

Grape must is a sugar‐rich habitat for a complex microbiota which is replaced by
Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains during the first fermentation stages. Interest on yeast …

Different species can find convergent solutions to adapt their genome to the same
evolutionary constraints, although functional convergence promoted by chromosomal …

Fungal infections are less studied than viral or bacterial infections and often more difficult to
treat. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually identified as an innocuous human-friendly yeast; …

One of the most widely used programs for detecting positive selection, at the molecular level,
is the program codeml, which is implemented in the Phylogenetic Analysis by Maximum …

Population genomics studies the evolutionary processes that shape intraspecies genetic
variations. In this review, I explore the insights into yeast population genomics that have …

In European regions of cold climate, S. uvarum can replace S. cerevisiae in wine
fermentations performed at low temperatures. S. uvarum is a cryotolerant yeast that …

Interspecific hybridization has played an important role in the evolution of eukaryotic
organisms by favouring genetic interchange between divergent lineages to generate new …

Phenylethanol (PE) and phenylethyl acetate (PEA) are commonly desired compounds in
wine because of their rose‐like aroma. The yeast S. cerevisiae produces the PE either …
