P.546 left column: "The genome of the
yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been
completely sequenced through an international effort involving some 600
scientists in Europe, North America,
and Japan. It is the largest genome to
be completely sequenced so far (as of 1996, a record that [researchers] hope
will soon be bettered) and is the first
complete genome sequence of a eukaryote. A number of public data libraries
nucleotide and protein sequence data
from each of the 16 yeast chromosomes
(refs 1-16) have been established
(Table 1)." |

Abstract: "The complete sequence provides information about the higher order organization of yeast's 16 chromosomes and allows some insight into their evolutionary history." 12,068kbp according to table 2, top row, right-most value. The Budding yeast genome has 12,157,105 base pairs [12,071,326 Nuclear+85,779 mitochondrial] as of June 21st 2015 according to SGD link |
