Yeast population genomics

ResearchBlogging.org
I cheered the Sanger-Wellcome SGRP group work to generate multiple Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. paradoxus strain genome sequences. They submitted a version of the manuscript to Nature precedings and it is now published in Nature AOP showing that submitting to a preprint server doesn’t necessarily hurt your manuscript getting published in this instance. The research groups explored the impact of domestication (as was also recently done for the sake and soy sauce worker fungus, Aspergillus oryzae) on the Saccharomyces genome by comparing individuals from wild strains of S. [...]

New Saccharomyces resequencing assembly

SGRP LogoDavid Carter at the Sanger Centre emailed a message that new assemblies of Saccharomyces strain resequencing project have been posted including a new three-way alignment of S. bayanus-S.paradoxus-S.cerevisiae. This updates the Dec 2007 [...]

More updates on Saccharomyces resequencing project at Sanger

I’ve paraphrased an email sent by David Carter to folks interested in Saccharomyces resequencing project.
The latest version of the SGRP data is on the web site and ftp site. This release is somewhat provisional, and motivated more by the fact that we have a paper deadline coming up than by any claim to finality. It should be [...]

Yeast resequencing update

Ed Louis at Nottingham sent out an email today outlining plans for publishing analyses of the Saccharomyces Genome Resequencing Project.  They are in process of analyzing the data and ask that people respect their use of the data, but also invite collaborations and companion [...]

Next gen sequencing technology

Nature has an overview of what goes in and out of next generation sequencers with an interview with a smiling Chad Nusbaum from the Broad Institute. Most of these have been out and about for a while, but it seems that the hayride/bandwagon is starting to pick up more steam as GT’s Genome Scan has several posts about sequencing referencing J. Craig V,

Yeast resequencing data updated

Image from http://www.bath.ac.uk/bio-sci/wheals2.htmThe Saccharomyces Genome Resequencing Project has completed ” ABI sequencing of 32 S. cerevisiae strains and 27 S. paradoxus strains to a depth of between 1x and 3x”. This is in collaboration with Ed Louis’ group who have been working on number of really interesting fungal [...]
