[EN] Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that have co-evolved with their hosts to establish an intricate network of protein-protein interactions. Here, we followed a high-throughput yeast two-hybrid screening to ...
[EN] An open question in evolutionary biology is how does the selection¿drift balance determine the fates
of biological interactions. We searched for signatures of selection and drift in genomes of five
endosymbiotic ...

Functional divergence is the process by which new genes and functions originate through the modification of existing ones.
Both genetic and environmental factors influence the evolution of new functions, including gene ...
[EN] The cell central metabolism has been shaped throughout evolutionary times when facing challenges from the availability of resources. In the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a set of duplicated genes originating ...

[EN] Ethanol is the main by-product of yeast sugar fermentation that affects
microbial growth parameters, being considered a dual molecule, a nutrient and a
stressor. Previous works demonstrated that the budding yeast arose ...
