Check out the new, improved version of our Mutation Browser preprint. We worked with a team from the Broad including their outreach office, a great summer intern, and the G2P project to add a new browser panel that maps mutations onto yeast protein structures! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

What are all these beakers of different materials waiting to be autoclaved? Stay tuned for a new yEvo module on evolving adhesion! Beta testing in 2 classrooms this spring.

You can explore our entire dataset here, and even (locally) upload your own data! Obviously we built it out for yeast, but we have instructions on porting to other organisms yevo.org/mutation-bro...

Nothing like new data to lift the spirits. 44 new caspofungin-resistant @yevolab.bsky.social genomes! Can't wait to get these back in the hands of the high school students who evolved these yeast strains.

Had a great workshop today with the Hutch SEP & a bunch of local teachers interested in using our Yeast Madness kit in their classes. This module uses strains evolved by previous yEvo high school students and teaches about mutations, fitness, & cell biology. www.fredhutch.org/en/education...

Experimental evolution of S. cerevisiae for caffeine tolerance alters multidrug resistance and TOR signaling pathways
Abstract. Caffeine is a natural compound that inhibits the major cellular signaling regulator TOR, leading to widespread effects including growth inhibitio
