How can a yeast sugar transporter find a new function? In our new paper out now in @MolBioEvol we look at a recent evolutionary innovation in an alpha-glucoside transporter in S. eubayanus and find that multiple simultaneous mutations are required for this new function!

I absolutely love fresh water theme and aquatic invertebrates! I’ve just remade the previous “secret pond” piece to this vertical, more chibi style sticker sheet design. Beside the sticker sheet (which will be available later), art print will be available too & link in bio 💚💚
