This document summarizes recent research on the reticulate evolution of yeast species in the Saccharomyces genus. It discusses several new genome sequences that have helped uncover the evolutionary history. Wild Saccharomyces species from bioprospecting projects are revealing new genetic diversity. There is evidence of introgressions between species in mitochondrial DNA and the 2μm plasmid. Phylogenetic trees show four main mitochondrial haplogroups and reticulation at the nuclear level. Gene flow appears to be more frequent between species for mitochondrial and plasmid genes than for nuclear genes, although incomplete lineage sorting also impacts nuclear phylogenies.
