}In simultaneous press conferences in Brussels and Washington, researchers unveiled the complete genome of the most complex organism yet sequenced—brewer's yeast. The 12-million-base sequence, the result of a European Union-funded collaboration of more than 100 laboratories, is the first for a member of the eukaryotes—organisms that, unlike bacteria, have nucleated cells, among them all multicelled animals and plants. The similarities of yeast genes to those of more complex organisms, including…

The research presented here suggests that, far from leading to the demise of the traditional small laboratory, these new large-scale collaborative projects are in fact strengthening the small group which will continue to dominate research in molecular biology through interaction with the large groups.

The 569,750 base pair sequence corresponding to the 28.0-40.1 min region on the genetic map of Escherichia coli K-12 was determined and of interest was the finding of a large number of genes and gene clusters in and near the replication termination region which had been thought to be genetically silent.

This review will describe what yeasts are, how they are classified, and attempt to provide a rapid overview of the many current and future applications of yeasts, and discuss how yeasts—including those molecularly modified—are used to produce biofuels, proteins such as insulin, vaccines, probiotics, beverage preparations, and food additives.

The specific nucleic acid sequence is decoded into a specific protein sequence, which in turn defines the folded three-dimensional structure and positioning of chemically reactive amino acid side chains on this structure, both of which determine the function of the protein.
