UNC Charlotte bioinformatics professor discovers surprising evolutionary pattern in landmark yeast study - EurekAlert


University of North Carolina at Charlotte assistant professor of bioinformatics Abigail Leavitt LaBella has co-led an ambitious research study — published this week in widely influential journal “Science” — that reportsnot only shares intriguing findings made through innovative artificial intelligence analysis about yeasts - small fungi that are key contributors to biotechnology, food production, and human health. These findings simple yeast organisms that challenge widely accepted ideas about yeast evolution, but also provides access to an incredibly rich yeast analysis dataset that could have major implications for future evolutionary biology and bioinformatics research for years to come.
