Why are some species generalists and others specialists? To answer that, a team led by UW genetics professor Chris Todd Hittinger and a colleague at Vanderbilt University mapped genetic blueprints, appetites, and environments of more than 1,000 species of yeasts, building a family tree that illuminates how these single-celled fungi evolved over the past 400 …
