Yeast genome sequence ferments new research
Article Abstract:
The complete genome for brewer's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was announced recently, making it the most complex organism sequenced. Begun in Europe as an effort to sequence a single chromosome, the project involved 100 European laboratories and labs in the UK, US, Canada and Japan.

Europeans move on from yeast to TB
Article Abstract:
Britain's Wellcome Trust announced its plans to fund research to sequence the genomes of tuberculosis and malaria. The imbalance of the 4.5 million base pairs of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, make it difficult to sequence. Plasmodium falciparum represents an even greater challenges.

Closing in on the complete yeast genome sequence
Article Abstract:
Researchers at a Jun 1995 conference in Lisbon, Portugal, announced that work on the genome sequence of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae will be finished in 1995 ahead of schedule. The sequence will be the first competed for a eukaryote.
