Remarkably ancient balanced polymorphisms in a multi-locus gene network
Comparative Genomics of Saccharomyces kudriavzevii
This study is a multi-isolate population genomics study of Saccharomyces kudriavzevii. Full details and additional datasets can be found at http://hittinger.genetics.wisc.edu and Hittinger et al. 2010 (PMID:20164837). All genomes were assembled to the IFO1802 reference genome, except for the functional GAL genes where ZP591 was the reference. Saccharomyces kudriavzevii was originally sequenced by Cliften et al. 2003(PMID: 12775844) to help annotate and find functional elements in its relative, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.  Due to its extensive phenotypic and genetic diversity, Saccharomyces kudriavzevii is now being developed as a model system for evolutionary, ecological, and functional genomics.
