Throughout evolutionary history in the kingdom Fungi, taxa have exchanged genetic
information among species, as revealed in particular by analyses of genome sequences. In …

Over the last one and a half decade, interspecies hybridisation has gained continuously
increasing attention as a breeding technique suitable for transferring of genetic information …

Background Protists of the family Trypanosomatidae (phylum Euglenozoa) have gained
notoriety as parasites affecting humans, domestic animals, and agricultural plants. However …

Aneuploidy is the loss or gain of chromosomes within a genome. It is often detrimental and
has been associated with cell death and genetic disorders. However, aneuploidy can also …

Fermentations carried out at low temperatures (10–15° C) enhance the production and
retention of flavor volatiles, but also increase the chances of slowing or arresting the …

The genus Saccharomyces is an evolutionary paradox. On the one hand, it is composed of
at least eight clearly phylogenetically delineated species; these species are reproductively …

Hybridization between species can either promote or impede adaptation. But we know very
little about the genetic basis of hybrid fitness, especially in nondomesticated organisms, and …

Aneuploidy is the leading contributor to pregnancy loss, congenital anomalies, and in vitro
fertilization (IVF) failure in humans. Although most aneuploid conceptions are thought to …

Interspecies hybridization is an important evolutionary mechanism in yeasts. The genus
Zygosaccharomyces in particular contains numerous hybrid strains and/or species. Here, we …

The genomes of hybrids often show substantial deviations from the features of the parent
genomes, including genomic instabilities characterized by chromosomal rearrangements …
