Overall DNA divergence between strainswas
estimated at about 0.42% (bp per 100 bp) for industrial strains (isolated
from fermentative processes) and at 0.14% for wild strains
(isolated from grapes), suggesting lower diversity in the wild strains.
Population genomics, which aims to measure the diversity within a
given species by sequencing partial or whole genomes for several
isolates, is an emerging field, and as far as we knowno sequences from
Saccharomyces isolates from olives are included in these studies. This
information could contribute to clarifying the origin of these isolates
and to knowing whether they have the same or different wine origin.
