Genolevures Consortium partially sequenced the genomes of 13 yeasts, including that of
Kazachstania exigua (synonym
Saccharomyces exiguus) strain CBS 379. 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 2,579 RSTs, totaling 2.4 Mb and representing approximately 0.2X genome coverage, for this fungus. 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
K. exigua sequences are available in GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ under the accessions
AL407377 to AL409955.
