Génolevures On Line: Comparative Genomics of Yeasts

Participants : Pascal Durrens [correspondant] , David James Sherman.

The Génolevures online database provides archival data for exploring the annotated genome sequences of more than 20 genomes, determined and manually annotated by the Génolevures Consortium to facilitate comparative genomic studies of hemiascomycetous yeasts. Data are presented with a focus on relations between genes and genomes: conservation of genes and gene families, speciation, chromosomal reorganization and synteny. Génolevures online uses our open-source MAGUS system for genome navigation, with project-specific extensions developed by Magnome . For more information see the Génolevures web site.
