Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple rounds of speciation associated with reciprocal gene loss in polyploid yeasts
TL;DR: A simple, unified model is proposed in which a single mechanism—passive gene loss—enabled whole-genome duplication and led to the rapid emergence of new yeast species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Additions, Losses, and Rearrangements on the Evolutionary Route from a Reconstructed Ancestor to the Modern Saccharomyces cerevisiae Genome
TL;DR: The principle of parsimony, applied to aligned synteny blocks from 11 yeast species, is used to infer the gene content and gene order that existed in the genome of an extinct ancestral yeast about 100 Mya, immediately before it underwent whole-genome duplication (WGD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary erosion of yeast sex chromosomes by mating-type switching accidents
Jonathan L. Gordon,David Armisén,Estelle Proux-Wéra,Seán S. ÓhÉigeartaigh,Kevin P. Byrne,Kenneth H. Wolfe +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that, despite its mutational cost, switching confers an evolutionary benefit by providing a way for an isolated germinating spore to reform spores if the environment is too poor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of Chromosome Number Evolution in Yeast
TL;DR: The complete rearrangement history of the Lachancea kluyveri genome is traced and it is proposed that its exceptionally low level of rearrangements is a consequence of the loss of the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) DNA repair pathway in this species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent allopolyploid origin of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii strain ATCC 42981.
TL;DR: It is concluded that ATCC 42981 is a Z. rouxii–Z.
