It is end of April and you may need some vitamins. You can start by reading the collaborative hattrick by @aksnorw and @thomasperli, starting with Vitamin requirements and biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae https://t.co/3KXVwAgBdK

Our educational guide for nanopore sequencing in the classroom is out in @PLOSCompBiol. Introducing bioinformatics students to the realities of data acquisition, an educational collaboration of @StanBrouns at @TNWTUDelft and myself at @EEMCS_TUD.

Always wondered why a mixture of so many vitamins is added to yeast medium? We reviewed vitamin synthesis and its genetics in a broad range of yeasts. Have a look! Thanks to @rortiz_ESR @thomasperli @Jack_Pronk_ @jgdaran1 @pacmen_itn and @Yeast_Journal https://t.co/KDNy8Xh7QF

Why are vitamins added to chemically defined yeast media? Was decided in the 40's and not questioned much afterwards. Find answers and perspectives in the latest review of @yeast_journal's yeast extracts series. By @thomasperli and @aksnorw (@pacmen_itn)

In 2020, we start a postgraduate course in Malting & Brewing Science @KU_Leuven, right in the heart of beer-country Belgium! This one-year program supported by @ABInBev_BE combines teachers from academia as well as Belgian breweries. https://t.co/7krIVIK4QJ

Promovendus @Arthur_GdV was te gast bij @BNR @BNRWetenschap om te vertellen over deze gisten > https://t.co/PQ0UbuyUtT

[BNR Nieuwsradio @BNR]

Dankzij een uitgebreide DNA-analyse en een slim algoritme bedacht door onderzoekers van de @tudelft, weten we nu dat de giststammen waarmee al onze pilsjes worden gemaakt, dezelfde voorouders hebben #wetenschapvandaag https://t.co/j7xfDF0x2U

[Arthur Gorter de Vries @Arthur_GdV]

@CilouBertin @BNR @tudelft Haha, zo kan je het ook zien. Bij pilsgist ligt het toch iets gecompliceerder: dat is namelijk een hybride (net zoals de muilezel een hybride is tussen een paard en een ezel). Hierdoor kan de pilsgist zich niet meer sexueel reproduceren, waardoor evolutie iets anders gaat werken.

[Faculteit TNW / Faculty of Applied Sciences @TNWTUDelft]

'All Pilsner yeast strains originate from a single yeast ancestor'. Very interesting work by @jgdaran1, @ThomasAbeel, @Arthur_GdV and others: https://t.co/9bTDmq2Ilj #TUDelft

[Thomas Abeel @ThomasAbeel]

First chromosome level alloaneuploid assembly ever shows that group 1 and 2 lager yeasts originate from the same hybridization event. With @Arthur_GdV, @an_salazan, and @jgdaran1. https://t.co/BvzWlNhl34

[Arthur Gorter de Vries @Arthur_GdV]

Nowadays, Pilsner is brewed almost exclusively using group 2 yeast. Based on our results, I personally think it is possible that all current Group 2 yeasts descend from isolates made by Dr. Elion. We have made available the DNA sequence of the Heineken-A yeast.

[Arthur Gorter de Vries @Arthur_GdV]

Beer doesn't just change people, people also changed beer: the two groups of yeast that are used to brew lager-type beer such as Pilsner likely emerged due to manmade selection and not due to independent evolutionary origins.

[Arthur Gorter de Vries @Arthur_GdV]

In our manmade bottleneck hypothesis, two groups emerged by human selection: Group 1 has long been known to have been isolated in 1883 by Hansen at the Carlsberg brewery. We now show that the Heineken A-Yeast, which was isolated in 1886 by Elion is the oldest known group 2 yeast.
