Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c Genome sequencing
We characterized the mechanisms that allow yeast cells to survive under conditions of thiol peroxidase deficiency. Two thiol peroxidase null yeast (delta8) strains independently acquired a second copy of chromosome XI and increased expression of genes encoded by it. Delta-8 strains were compared to the Wt-M11 strain, which is characterized by duplication of chr-XI.
