This copy of the genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was
obtained from SGD (www.yeastgenome.org).
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an ascomycete yeast and has been used
as a model system for eukaryotic genetics for decades. Its
development and biochemistry are well studied and many molecular
techniques and other resources are available.
The genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is by far the best
studied fungal genome. Strain S288C has been fully sequenced and is
currently hosted at the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD,
www.yeastgenome.org).
In order to allow comparative analyses with other fungal genomes
sequenced by the Joint Genome Institute, a copy of this genome is
incorporated into Mycocosm.
