Chromosome level assembly and comparative genome analysis confirm lager-brewing yeasts originated from a single hybridization

Abstract Background The lager brewing yeast, S. pastorianus, is a hybrid between S. cerevisiae and S. eubayanus with extensive chromosome aneuploidy. S. pastorianus is subdivided into Group 1 and Group 2 strains, where Group 2 strains have higher copy number and a larger degree of heterozygosity for...
