Genomic Exploration of the Hemiascomycetous Yeasts: 1. A set of yeast species for molecular evolution studies1

TLDR
A comparative genomics study of a homogeneous group of species classified as Hemiascomycetes, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, allows to examine the conservation of chromosome maps, to identify the ‘yeast‐specific’ genes, and to review the distribution of gene families into functional classes.

Genome evolution in yeasts

TL;DR: Analysis of chromosome maps and genome redundancies reveal that the different yeast lineages have evolved through a marked interplay between several distinct molecular mechanisms, including tandem gene repeat formation, segmental duplication, a massive genome duplication and extensive gene loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osmotic Stress Signaling and Osmoadaptation in Yeasts

TL;DR: An integrated understanding of osmoadaptation requires not only knowledge of the function of many uncharacterized genes but also further insight into the time line of events, their interdependence, their dynamics, and their spatial organization as well as the importance of subtle effects.

MIPS: a database for genomes and protein sequences

TL;DR: This report describes the systematic and up-to-date analysis of genomes (PEDANT), a comprehensive database of the yeast genome (MYGD), a database reflecting the progress in sequencing the Arabidopsis thaliana genome (MATD), the database of assembled, annotated human EST clusters (MEST), and the collection of protein sequence data within the framework of the PIR-International Protein Sequence Database (described elsewhere in this volume).

MIPS: analysis and annotation of proteins from whole genomes

TL;DR: The Munich Information Center for Protein Sequences (MIPS at the GSF), Neuherberg, Germany, provides resources related to genome information and develops databases covering computable information such as the basic evolutionary relations among all genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yesterday's polyploids and the mystery of diploidization

TL;DR: Sequence-level studies on model organisms whose genomes show clearer evidence of ancient polyploidy are invaluable because they indicate what the evolutionary products of genome duplication can look like.

Molecular evidence for an ancient duplication of the entire yeast genome

TL;DR: A model is proposed in which this species is a degenerate tetraploid resulting from a whole-genome duplication that occurred after the divergence of Saccharomyces from Kluyveromyces, and protein pairs derived from this duplication event make up 13% of all yeast proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Biology and Pathogenicity of Mycoplasmas

TL;DR: There is now solid genetic support for the hypothesis that mycoplasmas have evolved as a branch of gram-positive bacteria by a process of reductive evolution and developed various genetic systems providing a highly plastic set of variable surface proteins to evade the host immune system.
