Exploring environmentally-dependent genetic variation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Genetic variation is the raw material upon which natural selection acts to spread advantageous phenotypic traits throughout populations. Studies in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have begun to uncover the extent of genetic variation within yeast populations, but the fitness effects of this varia...
