title: Draft Genome Sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae IR-2, a Useful Industrial Strain for Highly Efficient Production of Bioethanol.
abstract: We sequenced the genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae IR-2, which is a diploid industrial strain with flocculation activity and the ability to efficiently produce bioethanol. The approximately 11.4-Mb draft genome information provides useful insights into metabolic engineering for the production of bioethanol from biomass.
