Some hints as to which other White Labs products might also be ''diastaticus'' have been deduced from the [[Saccharomyces#History_of_Domestication|Gallone et al. study]] which published DNA sequencing on most of the yeast strains in the White Labs bank. However, the codes used in the Gallone paper for each strain of yeast were not defined as far as which White Labs products they correspond to. Some of the codes have been speculated on which White Labs strains they might refer to (see [[Saccharomyces#History_of_Domestication|History of Domestication]] above). The strains from the Gallone paper that appear to contain STA1 are Beer002, Wine019, Beer092 and Beer059. The Beer059 code might correspond to WLP026 according to this speculative [https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1400297539998456/?comment_id=1908170505877821&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R0%22%7D table], which has had reports of high attenuation.
