New article! I had the pleasure of collaborating (also with @fcocubillosr.bsky.social, Claudio Martínez & @litinice.bsky.social) on this work, led by Dr Francisco Salinas, investigating the genomic structure of a horizontally acquired region (Region B) in #yeast. academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

Genetic background shapes the transcriptional activity and phenotypic contribution of a horizontally acquired region in yeastAbstract. Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) is the movement of genetic material across species. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a DNA segment known as Region B wacademic.oup.com

Happy to share our first step-by-step #protocol published in @bio-protocol.bsky.social, which uses the pTOMAN-G plasmid to monitor TORC1 activation in #yeast, developed in collaboration with Drs Claudio Martínez and Francisco Salinas. bio-protocol.org/e5356 The best is #yeast to come!

Comparto esta nota sobre el nuevo proyecto dirigido por el Dr. Claudio Martínez, Director de CECTA-USACH, del cual soy co-investigador. Esperamos obtener levaduras vínicas con menor/mayor eficiencia de alcohol e identificar las bases moleculares responsables. bit.ly/4lZZmR9

Mañana Viernes 25 de Abril damos inicio al ciclo de charlas organizadas por CECTA-USACH y la Vicerrectoría de Vinculación con el Medio (VIME). Los esperamos a las 15:00, ya sea través de Zoom (inscripciones en lnkd.in/e9p5_XdX) o en el canal de YouTube de la VIME (www.youtube.com/@VimeUsach).

My first grant project ends today. We studied phenotypic/genetic diversity in TORC1 activation between wild and domesticated yeasts. I am very grateful to Drs F. Salinas, C. Martínez, M. Villalobos-Cid, @matnamo.bsky.social & @litinice.bsky.social, whose collaboration was crucial over these 3 years.

Happy to share another research article led by Dr Claudio Martínez (there were two in the same week!) in which I had the pleasure of collaborating, also with Drs Verónica García, María Angélica Ganga & Amparo Querol, published in Journal of Fungi (MDPI). www.mdpi.com/3177160
