    Abstract Genetic manipulation is often used to study gene function. However, unplanned genome changes (including single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs], aneuploidy, and loss of heterozygosity [LOH]) can affect the phenotypic traits of the engineered strains. Here, we compared the effect of classical deletion methods (replacing target alleles with selectable markers by homologous recombination) with CRISPR-Cas9 editing in the diploid human-pathogenic yeast Candida parapsilosis. We sequenced the genomes of 9 isolates that were modified using classic recombination methods and 12 that were edited using CRISPR-Cas9. As a control, the genomes of eight isolates that were transformed with a Cas9-expressing plasmid in the absence of a guide RNA were also sequenced. Following gene manipulation using classic homologous recombination, only one strain exhibited extensive LOH near the targeted gene (8.9 kb), whereas another contained multiple LOH events not associated with the intended modification. In contrast, large regions of LOH (up to >1,100 kb) were observed in most CRISPR-Cas9-edited strains. LOH most commonly occurred adjacent to the Cas9 cut site and extended to the telomere in four isolates. In two isolates, we observed LOH on chromosomes that were not targeted by CRISPR-Cas9. Among the CRISPR-edited isolates, two exhibited cysteine and methionine auxotrophy caused by LOH at a heterozygous site in

    Abstract Lager brewing first occurred in Bavaria in the 15th century, associated with restrictions of brewing to colder months. The lager yeast, Saccharomyces pastorianus, is cold tolerant. It is a hybrid between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces eubayanus, and has been found only in industrial settings. Natural isolates of S. eubayanus were first discovered in Patagonia 11 years ago. They have since been isolated from China, Tibet, New Zealand, and North America, but not from Europe. Here, we describe the first European strains UCD646 and UCD650, isolated from a wooded area on a university campus in Dublin, Ireland. We generated complete chromosome level assemblies of both genomes using long- and short-read sequencing. The UCD isolates belong to the Holarctic clade. Genome analysis shows that isolates similar to the Irish strains contributed to the S. eubayanus component of S. pastorianus, but isolates from Tibet made a larger contribution.

    Abstract Candida metapsilosis is a member of the Candida parapsilosis species complex, a group of opportunistic human pathogens. Of all the members of this complex, C. metapsilosis is the least virulent, and accounts for a small proportion of invasive Candida infections. Previous studies established that all C. metapsilosis isolates are hybrids, originating from a single hybridization event between two lineages, parent A and parent B. Here, we use MinION and Illumina sequencing to characterize a C. metapsilosis isolate that originated from a separate hybridization. One of the parents of the new isolate is very closely related to parent A. However, the other parent (parent C) is not the same as parent B. Unlike C. metapsilosis AB isolates, the C. metapsilosis AC isolate has not undergone introgression at the mating type-like locus. In addition, the A and C haplotypes are not fully collinear. The C. metapsilosis AC isolate has undergone loss of heterozygosity with a preference for haplotype A, indicating that this isolate is in the early stages of genome stabilization.
