Loss of heterozygosity drives adaptation in hybrid yeast

CS Smukowski Heil, CG DeSevo, DA Pai… - Molecular biology …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Hybridization is often considered maladaptive, but sometimes hybrids can invade new
ecological niches and adapt to novel or stressful environments better than their parents. The …

Recombining without Hotspots: A Comprehensive Evolutionary Portrait of Recombination in Two Closely Related Species of Drosophila

CS Smukowski Heil, C Ellison, M Dubin… - Genome biology and …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Meiotic recombination rate varies across the genome within and between individuals,
populations, and species in virtually all taxa studied. In almost every species, this variation takes …

[HTML][HTML] Temperature preference can bias parental genome retention during hybrid evolution

CS Smukowski Heil, CRL Large, K Patterson… - PLoS …, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Interspecific hybridization can introduce genetic variation that aids in adaptation to new or
changing environments. Here, we investigate how hybrid adaptation to temperature and …

Selection on heterozygosity drives adaptation in intra-and interspecific hybrids

CS Smukowski Heil, CG DeSevo, DA Pai, CM Tucker… - bioRxiv, 2016 - biorxiv.org
Hybridization is often considered maladaptive, but sometimes hybrids can invade new ecological
niches and adapt to novel or stressful environments better than their parents. However, …

Experimental evolution reveals favored adaptive routes to cell aggregation in yeast

EA Hope, CJ Amorosi, AW Miller, K Dang, CS Heil… - Genetics, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Yeast flocculation is a community-building cell aggregation trait that is an important mechanism
of stress resistance and a useful phenotype for brewers; however, it is also a nuisance in …

Fitness benefits of loss of heterozygosity in Saccharomyces hybrids

SM Lancaster, C Payen, CS Heil… - Genome research, 2019 - genome.cshlp.org
With two genomes in the same organism, interspecific hybrids have unique fitness opportunities
and costs. In both plants and yeasts, wild, pathogenic, and domesticated hybrids may …

[HTML][HTML] Loss of heterozygosity and its importance in evolution

CS Heil - Journal of molecular evolution, 2023 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
… uvarum hemizygous genes underlying two different LOH events in hybrids evolved in low
phosphate (Smukowski Heil et al. 2017). More broadly, these experiments found that beneficial …

The recombination landscape of introgression in yeast

EJ Schwarzkopf, N Brandt, C Smukowski Heil - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Meiotic recombination is an evolutionary force that acts by breaking up genomic linkage,
increasing the efficacy of selection. Recombination is initiated with a double-strand break which …

Hybridization is often considered maladaptive, but sometimes hybrids can invade new
ecological niches and adapt to novel or stressful environments better than their parents. The …

Identification of a novel interspecific hybrid yeast from a metagenomic open fermentation sample using Hi-C

CS Heil, JN Burton, I Liachko, A Friedrich, NA Hanson… - bioRxiv, 2017 - biorxiv.org
Interspecific hybridization is a common mechanism enabling genetic diversification and
adaptation; however, the detection of hybrid species has been quite difficult. The identification of …
