Genome rearrangements are associated with eukaryotic evolutionary processes ranging
from tumorigenesis to speciation. Rearrangements are especially common following …

The eukaryotic cell division machinery must rapidly and reproducibly duplicate and partition
the cell's chromosomes in a carefully coordinated process. However, chromosome numbers …

This review focuses on current approaches to metabolic engineering of ethanologenic yeast
species for the production of bioethanol from complex lignocellulose biomass sources. The …

The valorization of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) holds critical importance within the circular
economy framework. Xylose, a five-carbon monosaccharide and the second most abundant …

Saccharomyces interspecies hybrids are critical biocatalysts in the fermented beverage
industry, including in the production of lager beers, Belgian ales, ciders, and cold-fermented …
