Yeast

We aligned the sequences of five species of yeast [1]: Saccharomyces cerevisiae ("baker's yeast"), Saccharomyces kluyveri, Kluyveromyces lactis (strain CLIB210), Kluyveromyces thermotolerans, and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii.

S. cerevisiae is one of the most studied eukaryotic model organisms and the first eukaryotic genome to be fully sequenced.

S. kluyveri is a plant pathogenic species closely related to S. cerevisiae.

K. lactis has become an attractive alternative model owing to distinct metabolic and physiological properties.

Z. rouxii is used in fermentation processes but is also one of the main spoilage microorganisms in food industry.

Synteny Tools

Instructions:
Select one or more species of interest from the left and then click a tool button on the right.
The first three tools, 3D View, Gene Search, and Dot Plot can be used with any number of selected species.
The remaining tools are only be available when one (self-alignment) or two species are selected.
