New mapping technique assembles yeast genomes without enzymes or costly chemicals

Researchers have developed a faster, cheaper way to read and assemble complete yeast genomes using optical mapping technology that eliminates enzyme steps. The breakthrough could accelerate strain development for breweries, pharmaceutical makers, and biotech firms that rely on yeast for fermentation and metabolic engineering.
