The Shared and Specific Genes and a Comparative Genomics Analysis within Three Hanseniaspora Strains by Kai Chen, Zhonghuan Tian, Fatang Jiang, Yunjiang Cheng, Chao-an Long

“…This analysis could contribute to discovering the genomic similarities and differences within the genus Hanseniaspora. In addition, some regions were not collinearity-matched in the genome of K. apiculata compared with that of H. uvarum or H. vineae, and these sequences might have resulted from evolutionary variations.…”
