TL;DR: Analysis of chromosome maps and genome redundancies reveal that the different yeast lineages have evolved through a marked interplay between several distinct molecular mechanisms, including tandem gene repeat formation, segmental duplication, a massive genome duplication and extensive gene loss.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied metagenomic, metatranscriptomic and biochemical analyses to surface-ripened cheeses and found that they were composed of ninemicrobial species during four weeks of grilling.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the yeasts Y. lipolytica and K. lactis have potential for industrial production of soluble and active scFv, indicating that the antibody is functional.

TL;DR: Comparative genomics argues that, alongside neo-functionalization following gene duplication and HGT, specific gene retention must be recognized as an important mechanism for generation of biodiversity and adaptation in yeasts.

TL;DR: Yarrowia lipolytica SEC62 cDNA was cloned by functional complementation of a thermo-sensitive sec62 Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant strain confirming functional conservation and behaves as an integral membrane protein as shown by Western blotting.
