The June 2008 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) genome assembly is based on sequence dated June 2008 in the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD).

NOTE: in April of 2011, the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) deposited a more recent genome assembly of S. cerevisiae into the NCBI database. Find the NCBI record here, and the SGD genome assembly here.

Sample position queries

A genome position can be specified by the name of a gene or an ORF, the accession number of an mRNA or EST, a chromosomal range, or a keyword from a SGD gene description or GenBank mRNA description. The following list provides examples of valid position queries for the yeast genome. See the User's Guide for more information.

Request:
   Genome Browser Response:

chrIII Displays all of chromosome III
chrXVI:551,819-563,822 Displays the indicated bases from chromosome XVI
D38368 Shows region where GenBank mRNA D38368 aligns
AA417514 Displays region where EST AA417514 aligns
swi1 Displays the genomic region encoding the SWI1 component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex
YPL016W Same as above. YPL016W is the ORF name for SWI1

meiosis Lists genes and mRNAs that include "meiosis" in their description
Menees Lists RNAs deposited by scientist named Menees
Roeder,G.S. Lists mRNAs deposited by co-author G. S. Roeder

Use this last format for author queries. Although GenBank requires the search format Roeder GS, internally it uses the format Roeder,G.S..


Assembly details

Chromosomes available in this assembly: chrI, chrII, chrIII, chrIV ... etc ... chrXVI, chrM, 2micron. The 2micron sequence is the 2-micron plasmid. See also: SGD genome snapshot/overview

This sequence, open reading frame (ORF), and gene annotations were downloaded from www.yeastgenome.org. The S288C strain was used in this sequencing project. Reference information for each chromosome may be found in the SGD Systematic Sequencing Table. For more information about the yeast genetic and physical maps, see the paper Cherry JM et al. Genetic and physical maps of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Nature. 1997 May 29;387(6632 Suppl):67-73.

Downloads of the yeast data and annotations may be obtained from the UCSC Genome Browser FTP server or Downloads page. The S. cerevisiae annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide.
