Yeast publishes original articles and reviews on the most significant developments of research with unicellular fungi, including innovative methods of broad applicability. It is essential reading for those wishing to keep up to date with this rapidly moving field of yeast biology.
Topics covered include:
biochemistry and molecular biology
biodiversity and taxonomy
biotechnology
cell and developmental biology
ecology and evolution
genetics and genomics
metabolism and physiology
pathobiology
synthetic and systems biology
tools and resources
In addition, the journal contains several invited review types: Budding Topics, which offer an insightful view of the work of young PIs; Yeast Primers, focusing on new non-conventional species and species communities; the EcoYeast series, reporting on the ecology of yeasts in their environmental niches; and Yeast Extracts, providing the vision of renowned scientists on their field of expertise. The journal publishes one special issue per year on a selected leading topic in yeast biology.
The journal also promotes the collegiate activities of the yeast research community by publishing announcements of Meetings and Courses, as well as the Abstracts of major conferences.

Editor in Chief | Gianni Liti
Université Côte d'Azur, CNRS, INSERM, IRCAN Nice, France
Gianni Liti studied biology and obtained his PhD in 2000 from the University of Perugia (Italy). In 2001, he moved to the UK (first to Leicester then to Nottingham) and worked on genome evolution, population genomics and telomere biology using the budding yeasts, S. cerevisiae and other closely related species, as model organisms. In 2011, he moved to Nice (France) as CNRS researcher where he leads a team working on yeast population genomics and complex traits analysis.
Senior Editor | Gilles Fischer
Sorbonne University, CNRS, Paris, France
Gilles Fischer obtained a PhD in Genetics from the University of Nancy, France. He moved to the University of Oxford (UK) as a post-doctoral fellow where he started working on yeast genome evolution. He is now Director of Research at the CNRS and heads the Biology of Genomes team (http://www.lcqb.upmc.fr/BIG) in the Laboratory of Computational and Quantitative Biology at Sorbonne University in Paris. His fields of expertise are molecular genetics and comparative genomics. His research focuses on genome dynamics through characterization of chromosomal structural variations and sequence polymorphisms at different scales, from cells to populations, and from strains and to species. His interest also include the relationships between replication/recombination and the evolution of gene content, gene organization and variations of the nucleotide composition of genomes.
