By sequencing over seventy isolates of the domesticated baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its closest relative, S. paradoxus, this study describes variation in gene content, SNPs, indels, copy numbers and transposable elements, providing insights into the evolution of different lineages, phenotypic variation, domestication and population structure of Saccharomyces.
