Abstract:
We developed the Yeast Gene Order Browser (YGOB; http://wolfe.gen.tcd.ie/ygob) to facilitate visual comparisons
and computational analysis of synteny relationships in yeasts. The data presented in YGOB, currently covering seven
species, are based on sets of homologous genes that have been intensively manually curated based on both sequence
similarity and genomic context (synteny). We reconciled different laboratories? lists of paralogous Saccharomyces
cerevisiae gene pairs formed by genome duplication (ohnologs), and present near-exhaustive lists of the ohnolog pairs
retained in S. cerevisiae (551, including 22 previously unidentified), Saccharomyces castellii (599), and Candida glabrata
(404).
