Yarrowia lipolytica Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Yarrowia lipolytica CLIB122

Yarrowia is a fungal genus in the family Dipodascaceae. For a while the genus was monotypic, containing the single species Yarrowia lipolytica, a yeast that can use unusual carbon sources, such as hydrocarbons. This has made it of interest for use in industrial microbiology, especially for the production of specialty lipids. Molecular phylogenetics analysis has revealed several other species that have since been added to the genus.

Assembly

Yarrowia lipolytica has a haploid genome of approx. 20Mb in 6 chromosomes and has been sequenced by the Genolevures Consortium. The current assembly has been loaded from the records for the submitted INSDC genome assembly GCA_000002525.

Annotation

Gene models have been created using on feature annotation from the corresponding INSDC records submitted by the Genolevures Consortium. Non coding RNA genes have been annotated using tRNAScan-SE (Lowe, T.M. and Eddy, S.R. 1997), RFAM (Griffiths-Jones et al 2005), and RNAmmer (Lagesen K.,et al 2007); additional analysis tools have also been applied.
