The genome of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been completely sequenced through a worldwide collaboration and provides information about the higher order organization of yeast's 16 chromosomes and allows some insight into their evolutionary history.
Abstract
The genome of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been completely sequenced through a worldwide collaboration. The sequence of 12,068 kilobases defines 5885 potential protein-encoding genes, approximately 140 genes specifying ribosomal RNA, 40 genes for small nuclear RNA molecules, and 275 transfer RNA genes. In addition, the complete sequence provides information about the higher order organization of yeast's 16 chromosomes and allows some insight into their evolutionary history. The genome shows a considerable amount of apparent genetic redundancy, and one of the major problems to be tackled during the next stage of the yeast genome project is to elucidate the biological functions of all of these genes.

Gene Ontology: tool for the unification of biology

TL;DR: The goal of the Gene Ontology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing.

The Complete Genome Sequence of Escherichia coli K-12

TL;DR: The 4,639,221-base pair sequence of Escherichia coli K-12 is presented and reveals ubiquitous as well as narrowly distributed gene families; many families of similar genes within E. coli are also evident.

A comprehensive analysis of protein–protein interactions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: Examination of large-scale yeast two-hybrid screens reveals interactions that place functionally unclassified proteins in a biological context, interactions between proteins involved in the same biological function, and interactions that link biological functions together into larger cellular processes.

Global analysis of protein localization in budding yeast

TL;DR: The construction and analysis of a collection of yeast strains expressing full-length, chromosomally tagged green fluorescent protein fusion proteins helps reveal the logic of transcriptional co-regulation, and provides a comprehensive view of interactions within and between organelles in eukaryotic cells.

A genomic perspective on protein families

TL;DR: Comparison of proteins encoded in seven complete genomes from five major phylogenetic lineages and elucidation of consistent patterns of sequence similarities allowed the delineation of 720 clusters of orthologous groups (COGs), which comprise a framework for functional and evolutionary genome analysis.

One-step gene disruption in yeast

TL;DR: The one-step gene disruption techniques described here are versatile in that a disruption can be made simply by the appropriate cloning experiment and the resultant chromosomal insertion is nonreverting and contains a genetically linked marker.

New heterologous modules for classical or PCR‐based gene disruptions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: A dominant resistance module, for selection of S. cerevisiae transformants, which entirely consists of heterologous DNA is constructed and tested, and some kanMX modules are flanked by 470 bp direct repeats, promoting in vivo excision with frequencies of 10–3–10–4.
