Science - Food & Drink / Brewers' yeast
English term or phrase: genome decay
I was thinking of "Genomzerfall" oder "Genomzerstörung", aber beides googelt sich schlecht.

Brewer’s yeast has also lost the ability to survive in the wild like their non-domesticated cousins do, for instance, on the surface of fruit. This is not the case for wine yeast, which has undergone less change compared to its wild relatives. Domestication is evident on a genetic level, for example, through an increase in *genome decay*, rearranged chromosomes, gene duplications and polyploidy. To clarify polyploidy, human sperm and egg cells are haploid, meaning they possess a single set of chromosomes.

Verfall des Erbguts
Explanation:
Mit *genome decay* sind die Veränderungen im Genom (also Erbgut) gemeint, die im Zuge der Evolution durch das Wegfallen oder die Inaktivierung von Genen vor sich gehen. Das Erbgut zerfällt also in seiner ursprünglichen Form, da Gene mutieren, inaktiv werden, "gelöscht" werden, etc. Soweit ich das erkennen konnte, ist das aber eben kein feststehender Begriff, sondern eher eine Beschreibung des Vorgangs.

*Zerfall des Erbguts* ginge ebenso, aber ich persönlich bevorzuge den Klang der ersten Version.

Erklärungen:
"Genome-wide comparison between related free-living and obligate organisms often enables the process of genome decay to be observed where deletions and transposition gene inactivation act together to facilitate this evolutionary process." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3996552/

"Gene loss or genome decay occurs when a gene is no longer used by the microbe or when a microbe attempts to adapt to a new ecological niche. [...] The inactivation of genes is typically associated with a change in the lifestyle of an organism, which can involve adapting to a new niche. "

(Davon ausgenommen sind natürlich Degenerationsprozesse – Krankheit, Genomverfall, Tod,... – denn die könnten durchaus zum Konzept gehören.

"verfall/zerfall" hmmm nicht einfach ... "decay" wäre eher "Zerfall"
