Amazing work done by my lab mates 🫰🏽. Congrats @vasni_zavaleta

What rules successful lager fermentation in novel hybrids? We developed dozens of hybrids to solve this & evaluated parental contribution, ploidy levels, mitochondria and volatile compounds in beer. Have a look to our latest article in @mSystemsJ 👇🍺

This is our genomic portray of a novel, diverse, and highly introgressed population of S. cerevisiae from the Neotropics. With 200+ new genomes of yeasts from open agave fermentations in 🇲🇽 and as part of the #YeastGenomesMx consortium efforts

Busy morning at #Icy2024 where we showed our work ⁦@ibiochile⁩ on S. chiloensis (⁦@Tomas__P⁩’s work) and in paralell ⁦@lsaona⁩ on changes in fungal communities across Patagonia ⁦@LiliNucleo⁩ 😅😅 🌳🌳 Took some time to mention el Trauco and Caleuche!

[Jason Tsai @ishengtsai]

Happy to present latest study uncovers the spatiotemporal dynamics of fungal communities in tropical Fagaceae forests! 🌳🍂 We compared contiguous habitats (leaf, twitter, litter and soil), we found that local conditions shape fungal diversity differently https://t.co/T9VqPEWqcG

Recientemente describimos una nueva especie de Saccharomyces aislada desde Chiloé denominada Saccharomyces chiloensis. Este descubrimiento es hoy noticia en La Tercera, y también en @estrellachiloe. Felices que sea compartido en su lugar de origen, Chiloé 😍 @Tomas__P

@nicolo_tellini Thanks nicolò! Jajaj it prefers wine indeed, but in the lab we say: Low alcoholic beer 🫣.

[Tomas Peña @Tomas__P]

Our work describing a new saccharomyces species from coastal pacific islands is out 🫰🏽.
We integrate the biology especies concept with genome identity stats in order to delinate S. chiloensis nov sp. from S. uvarum and S. eubayanus.

We will miss you @sergio_izgea 🫰🏽

[Francisco Cubillos R @fcocubillosr.bsky.social @FcocubillosR]

After a 3-month internship in our lab studying cool yeast genetics, @sergio_izgea is going back home to @nacho_belda lab. Thanks for all your great science! See you soon Sergio! @fqybusach @ibiochile

Its finally pre-printed jajaja thanks everyone for their help and support.
All suggestions/comments/questions will be happily received 🫰🏽

🌳😍 What's the limit between lineages to delimt two sp? We're very happy 2 share w/you our pre-print using an integrative approach to describe a new Saccharomyces sp from Chiloé 🇨🇱. Work by the brilliant PhD student @Tomas__P Open to discuss! @ibiochile
