In recent years, new yeast species have proven their value and novel biotechnological
applications have emerged. This book compiles the multi-faceted genetic repertoire of several
yeasts relevant to modern biotechnology, and describes their utilization in research and
application in the light of their genetic make-up and physiological characteristics. Moreover,
the book presents a thorough overview of a wide array of methodologies from classical
genetics to modern genomics technologies that have been and are being used in functional
analysis of yeasts.
