** Whole-genome sequencing by Kristoffer Krogerus suggests that this is a hybrid between ''S. cerevisiae'' and ''S. uvarum'' with introgressions from ''S. eubayanus''; it is also POF+ (all other kveik strains tested by Richard Preiss have been POF- <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1336954522999425/?comment_id=1510478635647012&reply_comment_id=1510501832311359&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D MTF conversation with Richard Preiss of Escarpment Labs regarding POF of kveik strains. 12/14/2016.]</ref>). Additionally, this strain is genetically not related to the other kveik strains, and thus arguably is not actually classified as "kveik" <ref name="garshol_not_kveik"><ref name="preiss_diagram">.

"This is an unusual hybrid to see in brewing environments, but has been found in wine fermentations. Hopefully , we'll be able to figure out some hints on what the origin of this strain is (e.g. is it a wine hybrid that has been adapted to brewing conditions, or could it be a natural hybrid between a brewing strain and a wild S. uvarum strain?). The high attenuations seem to suggest it does not have a wine background. Lager yeast is also a hybrid, but between S. cerevisiae x S. eubayanus. S. uvarum, like S. eubayanus, is relatively cold-tolerant, so it is possible that Muri does well in low temperatures as well. Unlike lager yeasts, this strain has functional PAD1 and FDC1 genes making it POF+ (as has been mentioned previously). What is also interesting is the contributions from S. eubayanus; what genes (and are they significant somehow) and where did they come from (from a lager strain or a wild S. eubayanus strain)? Many questions, but hopefully we can answer some of them!" ~ Kristoffer Krogerus <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1336954522999425/?comment_id=1510478635647012&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Conversation with Richard Preiss on MTF regarding Muri DNA analysis. 12/14/2016.]</ref>
