Beer meets DNA science
Researchers in London recently completed a project to map the DNA sequences of dozens of types of yeast. So what does that mean for the beer world? It means, theoretically, brewers will eventually be able to select ideal strains of yeast to create more flavorful and better-tasting beer. There’s also some deal about being able to compare the relative similarities between yeast DNA and human DNA so that researches can eventually isolate strains of diseases and create drugs that could benefit humanity, but, man, how about better-tasting beer?!
