Insights into the Genomic and Phenotypic Landscape of the Oleaginous Yeast .

Although is a model yeast for the study of lipid metabolism, its diversity is poorly known, as studies generally consider only a few standard laboratory strains. To extend our knowledge of this biotechnological workhorse, we investigated the genomic and phenotypic diversity of 56 natural isolates. is classified into five clades with no correlation between clade membership and geographic or ecological origin.
