Come to the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm this Friday if you want to hear a story that starts in Patagonia and ends in a beer bottle! https://t.co/5F5CWgWxbZ

[Stelkens Lab @StelkensLab]

We will be telling the story behind the beer and our exciting journey to get it bottled at The Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm on 13th February. See the invitation to the event here: https://t.co/5F5CWgWxbZ

A new lager beer, in collaboration with the @StelkensLab, us 😅 and NilsOscar brewery, has seen the light. Indomitus lager brings the Patagonian Andes essence to a bottle. Out of hard scientific work, happy to see this happening 👏🏻👏🏻🍺🍺

Welcome 2026 & our first submission. Here with @pablovilla81 & #Diego Libkind & colbs we dissected the S. eubayanus host preferences. Long story short, using 470 seq. we found that bark composition determines the yeast genomic structure.

We made a new lager beer! "Indomitus" for wild and untamed. Brewed with a wild yeast strain from Patagonia, this is the result of a super fun collaboration (and lots of hard work) with Francisco Cubillos, Chile @FcocubillosR and Andrés Furukawa at the Nils Oscar Brewery, Sweden

One of the most exciting projects of my career, years in the making. Using high-throughput precision genome editing, we mapped the fitness effects of thousands of natural variants—challenging the idea that common variants are inconsequential.

Thank you for having me at the SMBE satellite meeting in Puerto Varas in Chile! Super well organised, fantastic people, and interesting science! 🧪 🌋

✨ Latest exciting story of @haploteam in @Nature. Here, we go beyond SNPs and built a species-wide atlas of genetic variants in yeast. With >1,000 near T2T genomes, we show how SVs shape the phenotypic landscape.

We had an amazing @smbe satellite meeting in Puerto Varas. Great science, colleagues & Patagonian experience. Thanks the organizers and SMBE for putting this together!

[Stelkens Lab @StelkensLab]

We are particularly happy to see this paper out. It has been in the making for a long time and was a large collaborative effort between postdocs @chloe_hbk, Phd students, and great colleagues in Gothenburg!

[Stelkens Lab @StelkensLab]

We have a new paper out in Molecular Ecology, led by @DevinBendixsen ! Reproductive isolation due to divergent ecological selection is accompanied by vast genomic instability in experimentally evolved yeast populations https://t.co/ig1xUm8Qit

[Stelkens Lab @StelkensLab]

Crosses between divergent-selected lines produced hybrids with reduced gamete viability and striking genome instability (lots more SVs), while parallel-selected lines remained largely compatible. This links ecological selection to the emergence of “intrinsic” genetic barriers.

Happy to share with everyone our latest review published in @AnnualReviews
Here we focus in Non-Saccharomyes yeasts, latest achievements, and future work on them
