Saccharomyces, a genus of budding yeast, includes many species used in the production of bread, beer, wine, enzymes, and pharmaceuticals. S. cerevisiae, its most notable member, is a major eukaryotic model organism and is the first eukaryote to have its genome completely sequenced.




The genome sequences of multiple species and strains
of Saccharomyces are aligned in Map Viewer. Take a moment to BLAST your favorite gene sequence against these genomes and explore the maps available for viewing.
