This copy of the genome of Schizosaccharomyces pombe
was obtained from www.pombase.org [Release Version:
11th Sep 2012]. PomBase is a comprehensive database for the fission
yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, providing structural and
functional annotation, literature curation and access to
large-scale data sets. PomBase is funded by the Wellcome Trust and is run by a
consortium comprising the University
of Cambridge, the European
Bioinformatics Institute and University College London.
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.
Description:
Schizosaccharomyces pombe or "fission yeast" is a model
organism in molecular and cell biology. The sequence of the S.
pombe genome was published in
2002, by a consortium led by the Sanger Institute, becoming the
sixth model eukaryotic organism whose genome has been fully
sequenced. Approximately 120 natural strains of S. pombe
have been isolated.
