Overview of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae population structure through the lens of 3,034 genomes.

ABSTRACT: With the rise of high-throughput sequencing technologies, a holistic view of genetic variation within populations-through population genomics studies-appears feasible, although it remains an ongoing effort. Genetic variation arises from a diverse range of evolutionary forces, with mutation and recombination being key drivers in shaping genomes. Studying genetic variation within a population represents a crucial first step in understanding the relationship between genotype and phenotype and the evolutionary history of species. In this context, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been at the forefront of population genomic studies. In addition, it has a complex history that involves adaptation to a wide range of wild and human-related ecological niches. Although to date more than
