A mass mating event in the lab reveals how yeast cells choose partners‎

While humans often struggle to find a partner who is both physically attractive and a reliable co-parent, yeast may already have cracked the formula for the perfect match. When choosing mates, these single-celled organisms tend to pick partners that may increase the chances of their offspring's success, according to a new study by scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science, published in Cell Reports.
