British - apparently some US company stole my name
The results of the 1002 Genomes Project (actually the genomes of 1011 yeasts) have finally been published in Nature. It wasn't particularly interested in wine and beer yeast as such, it intended to have a broad survey of S. cerevisiae from lots of different niches all over the world, from bats and trout to horse dung and lychee flowers.
The paper itself is pretty hard work, and the main interest is in the detail of the data - the headline is their evidence for S.cerevisiae originating in Eastern China and spreading out across the world from there, and being independently domesticated several times.
I've only looked at the beer strains so far, which includes some familiar faces - hopefully Suregork can add them to the Gallone family tree, and maybe confirm a few of the identities there. For the record, the code name, name, origin and DNA group are as follows - I've added a few things such as NCYC codes and a bit more origin information where I could find them :

To be clear, the "Mosaic beer" grouping has nothing to do with Mosaic hops, it's a group of beer yeasts that have a patchwork of DNA from different sources.
