Saccharomyces cerevisiae Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a unicellular fungus. It is commonly known as baker's, brewer's or budding yeast. It is used in the production of a number of human foodstuffs, including alcoholic beverages and in the baking industry, and is widely used as a model species in the study of eukaryotic biology. In 1996, the genome of S. cerevisiae was the first eukaryotic genome to be completely deciphered.

Assembly

The assembly provided on this site is the R64-1-1 assembly, imported from the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD).

Annotation

::: {#annotation} The protein-coding and non-coding gene model annotation was imported from the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) in April 2018. This gene set is based on Liachko et al. 2013 [6], and contains 7036 protein-coding genes. Additionally, 91 transposable element genes (TE genes) that were previously annotated as protein-coding genes have now been correctly captured as TE genes. :::

Variation

The variation data provided by this site were imported from data provided by the Saccharomyces Genome Resequencing Project (SGRP).
