Comparing Yeast Species Used in Beer Brewing and Bread Making

Using the NIH Comparative Genomics Resource (CGR) to gain knowledge about less-researched organisms  The scientific community relies heavily on model organism research to gain knowledge and make discoveries. However, focusing solely on these species misses valuable variation. Comparative genomics allows us to use knowledge from a model species, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to understand traits in … Continue reading Comparing Yeast Species Used in Beer Brewing and Bread Making
