Abstract excerpt
Over the last decades, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has emerged as a key model for studying microbial domestication, particularly in the context of winemaking. The recent surge of population genomic data, encompassing thousands of genomes, has profoundly reshaped our understanding of the evolutionary history and adaptive potential of wine yeasts. Despite arising from a domestication bottleneck, wine yeasts...
