An Evolutionarily Conserved Prion-like Element Converts Wild Fungi from Metabolic Specialists to Generalists
[GAR[superscript +]] is a protein-based element of inheritance that allows yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to circumvent a normal hallmark of their biology: extreme metabolic specialization for glucose fermentation. When glucose is present, even in trace quantities, yeast will not use other carbon...
