Description:
The fission yeast clade--comprising Schizosaccharomyces pombe, S. octosporus, S. cryophilus, and S. japonicus--occupies the basal branch of Ascomycete fungi and is an important model of eukaryote biology. A comparative annotation of these genomes identified a near extinction of transposons and the associated innovation of transposon-free centromeres. Expression analysis established that meiotic genes are subject to antisense transcription during vegetative growth, which suggests a mechanism for their tight regulation. In addition, trans-acting regulators control new genes within the context of expanded functional modules for meiosis and stress response. Differences in gene content and regulation also explain why, unlike the budding yeast of Saccharomycotina, fission yeasts cannot use ethanol as a primary carbon source. These analyses elucidate the genome structure and gene regulation of fission yeast and provide tools for investigation across the Schizosaccharomyces clade.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3131103/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3131103/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rhind, Nicholas -- Chen, Zehua -- Yassour, Moran -- Thompson, Dawn A -- Haas, Brian J -- Habib, Naomi -- Wapinski, Ilan -- Roy, Sushmita -- Lin, Michael F -- Heiman, David I -- Young, Sarah K -- Furuya, Kanji -- Guo, Yabin -- Pidoux, Alison -- Chen, Huei Mei -- Robbertse, Barbara -- Goldberg, Jonathan M -- Aoki, Keita -- Bayne, Elizabeth H -- Berlin, Aaron M -- Desjardins, Christopher A -- Dobbs, Edward -- Dukaj, Livio -- Fan, Lin -- FitzGerald, Michael G -- French, Courtney -- Gujja, Sharvari -- Hansen, Klavs -- Keifenheim, Dan -- Levin, Joshua Z -- Mosher, Rebecca A -- Muller, Carolin A -- Pfiffner, Jenna -- Priest, Margaret -- Russ, Carsten -- Smialowska, Agata -- Swoboda, Peter -- Sykes, Sean M -- Vaughn, Matthew -- Vengrova, Sonya -- Yoder, Ryan -- Zeng, Qiandong -- Allshire, Robin -- Baulcombe, David -- Birren, Bruce W -- Brown, William -- Ekwall, Karl -- Kellis, Manolis -- Leatherwood, Janet -- Levin, Henry -- Margalit, Hanah -- Martienssen, Rob -- Nieduszynski, Conrad A -- Spatafora, Joseph W -- Friedman, Nir -- Dalgaard, Jacob Z -- Baumann, Peter -- Niki, Hironori -- Regev, Aviv -- Nusbaum, Chad -- BB/E023754/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- DP1 OD003958/OD/NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM069957/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM076396/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004037/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003067/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003067-06/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 May 20;332(6032):930-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1203357.
