This is the third blog post on the new Verstrepen lab paper on farmhouse yeast. While we were working on it we thought the family tree showing that kveik, gong (Eastern Norwegian farmhouse yeast), and Baltic farmhouse yeast were all one big family was going to be the headline result. As it turned out, the paper by Richard Preiss et al, came first. Still, it's nice to see that these two papers agree.
