The nucleotide sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome Ⅴ

摘要

Here we report the sequence of 569,202 base pairs of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome Ⅴ. Analysis of the sequence revealed a centromere, two telomeres and 271 open reading frames (ORFs) plus 13 tRNAs and four small nuclear RNAs. There are two Ty1 transpos-able elements, each of which contains an ORF (included in the count of 271). Of the ORFs, 78 (29%) are new, 81 (30%) have potential homologues in the public databases, and 112 (41%) are previously characterized yeast genes.
