Original Sequence Papers
The Yeast Genome Directory
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome was sequenced as a collaborative effort which involved a consortium of more than 600 scientists from over 100 laboratories. At the time this was considered to be the largest decentralized experiment in modern molecular biology. What follows are links to the original papers published as a result of this international effort to sequence the first eukaryotic genome.
