In this review, Chieh-Ping Lin, Alberto Geroldi, Nelly Selem @litinice.bsky.social and @ishengtsai.bsky.social analyse #yeasts in fungal #metabarcoding samples from the GlobalFungi database, revealing distinct patterns of distribution across environments 🍄 👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A Global Synthesis of Yeast in Microbiomes

Yeasts are widespread members of microbial communities across terrestrial, aquatic, and host-associated environments, yet they remain underrepresented in microbiome studies due to low abundance and m....

It was a real pleasure to host the @embo.org Workshop “Evolving Together: From Genomics to Biological Interactions” at Academia Sinica in Taiwan. We’ve put together a video capturing some of the science, interactions, and atmosphere of the meeting. Thanks to all who made it such a memorable event.

It was really an honour to speak at #Fungal26. Was really nervous but at least everyone laughed at my jokes. Lots of science, running and meeting people I've admired their research. Now heading home even more motivated to do more!

With @litinice.bsky.social, we built a haploid resource from 33 wild Taiwanese Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains — including some of the most genetically divergent Asian lineages — to bring natural yeast diversity into a genetically tractable framework. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

With the @rokaslab.bsky.social, three novel whole genome duplication (WGD) events were discovered in the Saccharomycotina yeast species in the Dipodascales clade. Before now, only four WGD events were known in fungi. This work suggests WGD may be underreported. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
