The Oct. 2003 yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) genome assembly is based on sequence dated 1 Oct. 2003 in the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD).

### Sample position queries

A genome position can be specified by the name of a gene or an ORF, the accession number of an mRNA or EST, a chromosomal range, or a keyword from a SGD gene description or GenBank mRNA description. The following list provides examples of valid position queries for the yeast genome. See the User's Guide for more information.

Request: | Genome Browser Response:
chr3 |  | Displays all of chromosome 3
chr16:551,819-563,822 |  | Displays the indicated bases from chromosome 16
D38368 |  | Shows region where GenBank mRNA D38368 aligns
AA417514 |  | Displays region where EST AA417514 aligns
swi1 |  | Displays the genomic region encoding the SWI1 component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex
YPL016W |  | Same as above. YPL016W is the ORF name for SWI1
meiosis |  | Lists genes and mRNAs that include "meiosis" in their description
Menees |  | Lists RNAs deposited by scientist named Menees
Roeder,G.S. |  | Lists mRNAs deposited by co-author G. S. Roeder
Use this last format for author queries. Although GenBank requires the search format Roeder GS, internally it uses the format Roeder,G.S..

### Assembly details

This sequence, open reading frame (ORF), and gene annotations were downloaded from the site ftp://genome-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/yeast/data_download. The S288C strain was used in this sequencing project. Reference information for each chromosome may be found in the SGD Systematic Sequencing Table. For more information about the yeast genetic and physical maps, see the paper Cherry JM et al. Genetic and physical maps of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Nature 1997 387(6632 Suppl):67-73.

Downloads of the yeast data and annotations may be obtained from the UCSC Genome Browser FTP server or Downloads page. The yeast annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide.
