Yeast metabolic innovations emerged via expanded metabolic network and gene positive selection

Abstract Yeasts are known to have versatile metabolic traits, while how these metabolic traits have evolved has not been elucidated systematically. We performed integrative evolution analysis to investigate how genomic evolution determines trait generation by reconstructing genome‐scale metabolic mo...
