Project description:The S. cerevisiae genome is the most well-characterized eukaryotic genome and one of the simplest in terms of identifying open reading frames (ORFs), yet its primary annotation has been updated continually in the decade since its initial release in 1996 (Goffeau et al., 1996). The Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD; www.yeastgenome.org) (Hirschman et al., 2006), the community-designated repository for this reference genome, strives to ensure that the S. cerevisiae annotation is as accurate and useful as possible. At SGD, the S. cerevisiae genome sequence and annotation are treated as a working hypothesis, which must be repeatedly tested and refined. In this paper, in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the completion of the S. cerevisiae genome sequence, we discuss the ways in which the S. cerevisiae sequence and annotation have changed, consider the multiple sources of experimental and comparative data on which these changes are based, and describe our methods for evaluating, incorporating and documenting these new data.
Project description:The role of the Hog1 and Slt2 MAP Kinases in the regulation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene expression upon stress by sulfuric acid
Project description:In our previous work, we had found that Saccharomyces cerevisiae needs of the Hog1 and Slt2 proteins to growth in a low pH environment caused by sulfuric acid, one of the stress factors during the process of ethanol production. Then was performed the gene-wide expression analysis in the hog1∆ and slt2∆ mutants in order to reveal the function of the Hog1p and Slt2p MAP Kinases in the regulation of S. cerevisiae global gene expression upon stress by sulfuric acid.
