The #Yeast2025 meeting has finally reached its end after four days of exciting talks, posters and networking activities.
Stay tuned for the upcoming special issue about the conference!
More infos will follow in the next coming weeks. πŸ™‚

The adaptive molecular landscape of reprogrammed telomeric sequences Telomeric sequences vary across the tree of life and intimately co-evolve with telomere-binding protein complexes. However, the molecular mechanisms allowing organisms to adapt to new telomeric sequen...

Superhappy to share the last paper from my PhD in @litinice.bsky.social lab. We evolved yeasts with humanized telomeric repeats and discovered that they adapt through amplification of telomere-binding proteins and inactivation of the DNA damage response.

Human gut bacteria bioaccumulate PFAS

Human gut bacteria bioaccumulate PFAS

Excited to share some key details on our latest research in @natmicrobiol.nature.com reporting intra-cellular accumulation of #PFAS (aka forever chemicals) by certain human gut bacteria. #microsky #mevosky #microbiomesky

Latest study from the lab is online today (and another will be out tomorrow, stay tuned:)). We profiled effect of >1700 chemicals (drugs, pesticides,...) on secretion of amines (involved in gut-brain and gut-immune axis. ) by human gut bacteria. Brilliant work by @skamrad.bsky.social and Tara Davis

Saccharomycopsis yichangensis sp. nov., a Novel Predacious Yeast Species Isolated From Soil Saccharomycopsis yichangensis sp. nov. occurs in soil from a subtropical forest in central China. This novel species is homothallic and produces asci containing four spheroidal ascospores, which can ...

In the latest #Yeast research article of the series #FantasticYeasts, Pei-Jie Han, Feng-Yan Bai & team describe a new yeast species isolated from a Chinese forest: Saccharomycopsis yichangensis, that can prey on Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other yeasts 😲

Interspecies interactions drive bacterial proteome reorganisation and emergent metabolism Species in microbial communities must respond to the presence of others to stave off resource competition or to capitalise on new resources that may become available due to additional metabolic activi...

Hi everyone! "Yeast" is looking for its next journal cover for the upcoming 2025 issues. If you have beautiful yeast images that you would like to see on our front cover, please send them to
YEAST@wiley.com

Have a nice day πŸ™‚

Prolonged persistence of mutagenic DNA lesions in somatic cells - Nature Persistent DNA lesions can occur throughout the human lifespan and can remain in the genome of affected cells for several years and generate a substantial proportion of the mutational burden.

Building on our discovery of #LesionSegregation, @mikespencerchapman.bsky.social and colleagues from @sangerinstitute.bsky.social find that some DNA lesions can persist in humans for months or years!
