TL;DR
How HGT has significantly shaped the genome evolution of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is highlighted, providing key traits relevant to fermentation processes and how detecting HGT events helps to understand yeast genome plasticity and to identify useful “foreign” DNA, which can be manipulated to create novel yeast strains with enhanced fermentation performance, flavour profiles, or stress tolerance.
These findings establish wine yeasts as a powerful model to link genome evolution with adaptation to anthropogenic environments and provide a foundation for the rational improvement of industrial strains through approaches such as quantitative trait locus mapping, adaptive laboratory evolution and genome-wide associati...

It is demonstrated that homologous recombination, genome plasticity, and lineage-specific diversification are major drivers of adaptation, ecological fitness, and pathogenic evolution in this emerging phytopathogen P. jejuense across diverse hosts and geographic regions.
A complex regulatory interaction between the horizontally acquired genes and the host genome that contributes to yeast adaptation under fermentation conditions is suggested.

Although the samples were primarily isolated from anthropogenic environments, H. uvarum exhibited an open pangenome, indicating substantial adaptive potential to diverse stresses and establishes a genomic foundation for future ecological and industrial research on this yeast.
Findings reveal that artificial selection shapes genome evolution in industrial strains, balancing production gains with metabolic trade-offs, and shows that many of the evolutionary processes in industrial strain improvement programmes mirror those at play during natural selection.

Overall, transposon-based tools represent a valuable and underexplored avenue to accelerate genome engineering and strain development in yeasts and filamentous fungi.
