Starvation induces genomic rearrangements and starvation-resilient phenotypes in yeast.

Abstract excerpt

Evolution has shaped a wide variety of genomes across eukaryotic taxa. However, the forces that shape the genomes are generally unknown. Because organisms in nature commonly experience prolonged periods of nutrient depletion, we posit that diverse demographic, physiological, and genomic responses...
