The collaboration of more than 600 scientists from over 100 laboratories to sequence the _Saccharomyces cerevisiae_ genome was the largest decentralised experiment in modern molecular

biology and resulted in a unique data resource representing the first complete set of genes from a eukaryotic organism. 12 million bases were sequenced in a truly international effort

involving European, US, Canadian and Japanese laboratories. While the yeast genome represents only a small fraction of the information in today’s public sequence databases, the complete,

ordered and non-redundant sequence provides an invaluable resource for the detailed analysis of cellular gene function and genome architecture. In terms of throughput, completeness and

information content, yeast has always been the lead eukaryotic organism in genomics; it is still the largest genome to be completely sequenced. Access through your institution Buy or
