My first grant project ends today. We studied phenotypic/genetic diversity in TORC1 activation between wild and domesticated yeasts. I am very grateful to Drs F. Salinas, C. Martínez, M. Villalobos-Cid, @matnamo.bsky.social & @litinice.bsky.social, whose collaboration was crucial over these 3 years.
