The yeast Saccharomyces uvarum is commonly used in wine fermentation, yet its natural history is poorly known. Here, Almeida et al. report high genetic diversity in South American S. uvarum, and show introgression from S. eubayanusand over-representation of genes related to fermentation in domesticated strains.
