Abstract
Yeast is used in everyday life. It is important to understand the genetic components of yeast. In various laboratory yeast strains, there are findings of TY1, TY2, and TY3. TY1 through TY3 have been well studied, while TY4 and TY5 are retroelements that have yet to be thoroughly studied. It is known that TY4 is found at only one to three copies per haploid genome.
TY4 is a retrotransposon, which shares similarities with retroviruses, making it essential to study its presence in
yeast. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of TY4 among lab strains, brewing strains, and baking strains of yeast.
