Updated Release of S. cerevisiae strain BY4741 sequences.

10/30/2013

This directory contains 4 files describing the genome of S. cerevisiae strain BY4741:

genome fasta file: BY4741_Toronto_2012.fsa
nucleic acid coding sequence file: BY4741_Toronto_2012_cds.fsa
protein sequence file: BY4741_Toronto_2012_pep.fsa
GFF file: BY4741_Toronto_2012.gff

The genome sequence was provided by:

Joseph C. Mellor, Takafumi Yamaguchi, Hon Nian Chua, Anna Karkhanina, Nozomu 
Yachie, Yo Suzuki, Frederick P. Roth. Donnelly Centre, University of Toronto 
and Lunenfeld Institute, Mt. Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario. Genome sequences 
of the S. cerevisiae YKO deletion set progenitor strains, BY4741 and BY4742 
(unpublished result).

Takafumi Yamaguchi and Frederick P. Roth also provided the following lists:

SNV/INDEL: BY4741_SNV_INDEL.vcf
auxotrophy markers: BY4741_markers.vcf

Feature definitions (for coding sequences and features in the gff file) were
assigned using Jim Kent's liftOver program with a blat alignment vs. the R64
(current) S288C reference sequence.

This assembly contains 16 chromosomes, the mitochondrial sequence, and the sequence
of the 2-micron plasmid. Using liftOver, 6682 SGD gene features were found in the assembly.
