Wine is a complex beverage, comprising thousands of metabolites that are produced through
the action of a plethora of yeasts and bacteria during fermentation of grape must. These …

The Saccharomyces sensu stricto group encompasses species ranging from the industrially
ubiquitous yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to those that are confined to geographically …

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is the bacterially driven decarboxylation of l-malic acid to l-lactic
acid and carbon dioxide, and brings about deacidification, flavour modification and …

Background Recent developments in third-gen long read sequencing and diploid-aware
assemblers have resulted in the rapid release of numerous reference-quality assemblies for …

Characterization of interspecies differences in gene regulation is crucial for understanding
the molecular basis of both phenotypic diversity and evolution. By means of chromatin …

Human intervention has subjected the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to multiple rounds
of independent domestication and thousands of generations of artificial selection. As a result, …

… The a1p andα 2p transformation modules containing the CaURA3 gene were generated
by PCR with pURA3 RV-13 DNA as the template (AR Borneman and M. Snyder, unpublished …

… A haploid wine yeast, AWRI1631, was recently developed for use as a model strain for the
analysis of wine yeast systems biology (AR Borneman et al., unpublished data). AWRI1631 …

… and Flo8, suggesting that the proteins likely require a tertiary intermediate, perhaps DNA,
for their apparent association at promoter regions (AR Borneman and M. Snyder, unpubl.). …

Humans have been consuming wines for more than 7000 yr . For most of this time,
fermentations were presumably performed by strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that naturally …
