Genolevures Consortium partially sequenced the genomes of 13 yeasts, including that of
Saccharomyces uvarum (also known as
Saccharomyces bayanus var.
uvarum) strain CLIB 533. For each species, they prepared a random genomic DNA library containing 3- to 5-kb inserts and performed single-pass sequencing (up to 1 kb) of both ends of the inserts, resulting in random sequence tags (RSTs). The
Genolevures Consortium generated 5,140 RSTs, totaling 4.7 Mb and representing approximately 0.4X genome coverage, for
Saccharomyces uvarum. They assembled these sequences into contigs and annotated them based on sequential comparisons to DNA and protein sequences from
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, protein sequences from other completely sequenced organisms, and protein sequences from all other organisms. The
Saccharomyces bayanus var.
uvarum sequences are available in GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ under the accessions
AL397139 to AL402278.
