Abstract: Plant-parasitic nematodes are major agricultural pests worldwide and novel approaches to control them are sorely needed. We report the draft genome sequence of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita, a biotrophic parasite of many crops, including tomato, cotton and coffee. Most of the assembled sequence of this asexually reproducing nematode, totaling 86 Mb, exists in pairs of homologous but divergent segments. This suggests that ancient allelic regions in M. incognita are evolving toward effective haploidy, permitting new mechanisms of adaptation. The number and diversity of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes in M. incognita is unprecedented in any animal for which a genome sequence is available, and may derive from multiple horizontal gene transfers from bacterial sources. Our results provide insights into the adaptations required by metazoans to successfully parasitize immunocompetent plants, and open the way for discovering new antiparasitic strategies

Abstract: This paper reports the genomic analysis of strain CBS732 of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, a homothallic diploid yeast. We explored the sequences of 4934 random sequencing tags of about 1 kb in size and compared them to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene products. Approximately 2250 nuclear genes, 57 tRNAs, the rDNA locus, the endogenous pSR1 plasmid and 15 mitochondrial genes were identified. According to 18S and 25S rRNA cladograms and to synteny analysis, Z. rouxii could be placed among the S. cerevisiae sensu lato yeasts.

Abstract: As part of the comparative genomics project ‘GENOLEVURES’, we studied the Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus strain CBS712 using a partial random sequencing strategy. With a 0.2×genome equivalent coverage, we identified ca. 1300 novel genes encoding proteins, some containing spliceosomal introns with consensus splice sites identical to those of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, 28 tRNA genes, the whole rDNA repeat, and retrotransposons of the Ty1/2 family of S. cerevisiae with diverged Long Terminal Repeats. Functional classification of the K. marxianus genes, as well as the analysis of the paralogous gene families revealed few differences with respect to S. cerevisiae. Only 42 K. marxianus identified genes are without detectable homolog in the baker’s yeast. However, we identified several genetic rearrangements between these two yeast species.

4. Genomic Exploration of the Hemiascomycetous Yeasts: 18. Comparative analysis of chromosome maps and synteny withSaccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract: We have analyzed the evolution of chromosome maps of Hemiascomycetes by comparing gene order and orientation of the 13 yeast species partially sequenced in this program with the genome map of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. From the analysis of nearly 8000 situations in which two distinct genes having homologs in S. cerevisiae could be identified on the sequenced inserts of another yeast species, we have quantified the loss of synteny, the frequency of single gene deletion and the occurrence of gene inversion. Traces of ancestral duplications in the genome of S. cerevisiae could be identified from the comparison with the other species that do not entirely coincide with those identified from the comparison of S. cerevisiae with itself. From such duplications and from the correlation observed between gene inversion and loss of synteny, a model is proposed for the molecular evolution of Hemiascomycetes. This model, which can possibly be extended to other eukaryotes, is based on the reiteration of events of duplication of chromosome segments, creating transient merodiploids that are subsequently resolved by single gene deletion events.

Abstract: Random sequencing of the Kluyveromyces lactis genome allowed the identification of 2235–2601 open reading frames (ORFs) homologous to S. cerevisiae ORFs, 51 ORFs which were homologous to genes from other species, 64 tRNAs, the complete rDNA repeat, and a few Ty1- and Ty2-like sequences. In addition, the complete sequence of plasmid pKD1 and a large coverage of the mitochondrial genome were obtained. The global distribution into general functional categories found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and as defined by MIPS is well conserved in K. lactis. However, detailed examination of certain subcategories revealed a small excess of genes involved in amino acid metabolism in K. lactis. The sequences are deposited at EMBL under the accession numbers AL424881–AL430960.

Abstract: Red seaweeds are key components of coastal ecosystems and are economically important as food and as a source of gelling agents, but their genes and genomes have received little attention. Here we report the sequencing of the 105-Mbp genome of the florideophyte Chondrus crispus (Irish moss) and the annotation of the 9,606 genes. The genome features an unusual structure characterized by gene-dense regions surrounded by repeat-rich regions dominated by transposable elements. Despite its fairly large size, this genome shows features typical of compact genomes, e.g., on average only 0.3 introns per gene, short introns, low median distance between genes, small gene families, and no indication of large-scale genome duplication. The genome also gives insights into the metabolism of marine red algae and adaptations to the marine environment, including genes related to halogen metabolism, oxylipins, and multicellularity (microRNA processing and transcription factors). Particularly interesting are features related to carbohydrate metabolism, which include a minimalistic gene set for starch biosynthesis, the presence of cellulose synthases acquired before the primary endosymbiosis showing the polyphyly of cellulose synthesis in Archaeplastida, and cellulases absent in terrestrial plants as well as the occurrence of a mannosylglycerate synthase potentially originating from a marine bacterium. To explain the observations on genome structure and gene content, we propose an evolutionary scenario involving an ancestral red alga that was driven by early ecological forces to lose genes, introns, and intergenetic DNA; this loss was followed by an expansion of genome size as a consequence of activity of transposable elements.

Abstract: Root-knot nematodes are globally the most aggressive and damaging plant-parasitic nematodes. Chemical nematicides have so far constituted the most efficient control measures against these agricultural pests. Because of their toxicity for the environment and danger for human health, these nematicides have now been banned from use. Consequently, new and more specific control means, safe for the environment and human health, are urgently needed to avoid worldwide proliferation of these devastating plant-parasites. Mining the genomes of root-knot nematodes through an evolutionary and comparative genomics approach, we identified and analyzed 15,952 nematode genes conserved in genomes of plant-damaging species but absent from non target genomes of chordates, plants, annelids, insect pollinators and mollusks. Functional annotation of the corresponding proteins revealed a relative abundance of putative transcription factors in this parasite-specific set compared to whole proteomes of root-knot nematodes. This may point to important and specific regulators of genes involved in parasitism. Because these nematodes are known to secrete effector proteins in planta, essential for parasitism, we searched and identified 993 such effector-like proteins absent from non-target species. Aiming at identifying novel targets for the development of future control methods, we biologically tested the effect of inactivation of the corresponding genes through RNA interference. A total of 15 novel effector-like proteins and one putative transcription factor compatible with the design of siRNAs were present as non-redundant genes and had transcriptional support in the model root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. Infestation assays with siRNA-treated M. incognita on tomato plants showed significant and reproducible reduction of the infestation for 12 of the 16 tested genes compared to control nematodes. These 12 novel genes, showing efficient reduction of parasitism when silenced, constitute promising targets for the development of more specific and safer control means., Author Summary Plant-parasitic nematodes are annually responsible for more than $100 billion crop yield loss worldwide and those considered as causing most of the damages are root-knot nematodes. These nematodes used to be controlled by chemicals that are now banned from use because of their poor specificity and high toxicity for the environment and human health. In the absence of sustainable alternative solutions, new control means, more specifically targeted against these nematodes and safe for the environment are needed. We searched in root-knot nematode genomes, genes conserved in various plant-damaging species while otherwise absent from the genomes of non target species such as those of chordates, plants, annelids, insect pollinators and mollusks. These genes are probably important for plant parasitism and their absence from non-target species make them interesting candidates for the development of more specific and safer control means. Further bioinformatics pruning of this set of genes yielded 16 novel candidates that could be biologically tested. Using RNA interference, we knocked down each of these 16 genes in a root-knot nematode and tested the effect on plant parasitism efficiency. Out of the 16 tested genes, 12 showed a significant and reproducible diminution of infestation when silenced and are thus particularly promising.

Abstract: We performed high-throughput sequencing of DNA from fossilized faeces to evaluate this material as a source of information on the genome and diet of Pleistocene carnivores. We analysed coprolites derived from the extinct cave hyena ( Crocuta crocuta spelaea ), and sequenced 90 million DNA fragments from two specimens. The DNA reads enabled a reconstruction of the cave hyena mitochondrial genome with up to a 158-fold coverage. This genome, and those sequenced from extant spotted ( Crocuta crocuta ) and striped ( Hyaena hyaena ) hyena specimens, allows for the establishment of a robust phylogeny that supports a close relationship between the cave and the spotted hyena. We also demonstrate that high-throughput sequencing yields data for cave hyena multi-copy and single-copy nuclear genes, and that about 50 per cent of the coprolite DNA can be ascribed to this species. Analysing the data for additional species to indicate the cave hyena diet, we retrieved abundant sequences for the red deer ( Cervus elaphus ), and characterized its mitochondrial genome with up to a 3.8-fold coverage. In conclusion, we have demonstrated the presence of abundant ancient DNA in the coprolites surveyed. Shotgun sequencing of this material yielded a wealth of DNA sequences for a Pleistocene carnivore and allowed unbiased identification of diet.

Abstract: International audience; ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Blastocystis is a highly prevalent anaerobic eukaryotic parasite of humans and animals that is associated with various gastrointestinal and extraintestinal disorders. Epidemiological studies have identified different subtypes but no one subtype has been definitively correlated with disease. RESULTS: Here we report the 18.8 Mb genome sequence of a Blastocystis subtype 7 isolate, which is the smallest stramenopile genome sequenced to date. The genome is highly compact and contains intriguing rearrangements. Comparisons with other available stramenopile genomes (plant pathogenic oomycete and diatom genomes) revealed effector proteins potentially involved in the adaptation to the intestinal environment, which were likely acquired via horizontal gene transfer. Moreover, Blastocystis living in anaerobic conditions harbors mitochondria-like organelles. An incomplete oxidative phosphorylation chain, a partial Krebs cycle, amino acid and fatty acid metabolisms and an iron-sulfur cluster assembly are all predicted to occur in these organelles. Predicted secretory proteins possess putative activities that may alter host physiology, such as proteases, protease-inhibitors, immunophilins and glycosyltransferases. This parasite also possesses the enzymatic machinery to tolerate oxidative bursts resulting from its own metabolism or induced by the host immune system. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides insights into the genome architecture of this unusual stramenopile. It also proposes candidate genes with which to study the physiopathology of this parasite and thus may lead to further investigations into Blastocystis-host interactions.

Abstract: Ocean Dweller Sequenced The Tunicates, which include the solitary free-swimming larvaceans that are a major pelagic component of our oceans, are a basal lineage of the chordates. In order to investigate the major evolutionary transition represented by these organisms, Denoeud et al. (p. 1381 , published online 18 November) sequenced the genome of Oikopleura dioica , a chordate placed by phylogeny between vertebrates and amphioxus. Surprisingly, the genome showed little conservation in genome architecture when compared to the genomes of other animals. Furthermore, this highly compacted genome contained intron gains and losses, as well as species-specific gene duplications and losses that may be associated with development. Thus, contrary to popular belief, global similarities of genome architecture from sponges to humans are not essential for the preservation of ancestral morphologies.

Abstract: Brown algae (Phaeophyceae) are complex photosynthetic organisms with a very different evolutionary history to green plants, to which they are only distantly related. These seaweeds are the dominant species in rocky coastal ecosystems and they exhibit many interesting adaptations to these, often harsh, environments. Brown algae are also one of only a small number of eukaryotic lineages that have evolved complex multicellularity (Fig. 1). We report the 214 million base pair (Mbp) genome sequence of the filamentous seaweed Ectocarpus siliculosus (Dillwyn) Lyngbye, a model organism for brown algae, closely related to the kelps (Fig. 1). Genome features such as the presence of an extended set of light-harvesting and pigment biosynthesis genes and new metabolic processes such as halide metabolism help explain the ability of this organism to cope with the highly variable tidal environment. The evolution of multicellularity in this lineage is correlated with the presence of a rich array of signal transduction genes. Of particular interest is the presence of a family of receptor kinases, as the independent evolution of related molecules has been linked with the emergence of multicellularity in both the animal and green plant lineages. The Ectocarpus genome sequence represents an important step towards developing this organism as a model species, providing the possibility to combine genomic and genetic approaches to explore these and other aspects of brown algal biology further. © 2010 Macmillan Publishers Limited.

Abstract: Letter; International audience; The Périgord black truffle ($Tuber\ melanosporum$ Vittad.) and the Piedmont white truffle dominate today's truffle market. The hypogeous fruiting body of $T.\ melanosporum$ is a gastronomic delicacy produced by an ectomycorrhizal symbiont endemic to calcareous soils in southern Europe. The worldwide demand for this truffle has fuelled intense efforts at cultivation. Identification of processes that condition and trigger fruit body and symbiosis formation, ultimately leading to efficient crop production, will be facilitated by a thorough analysis of truffle genomic traits. In the ectomycorrhizal $Laccaria\ bicolor$, the expansion of gene families may have acted as a 'symbiosis toolbox'. This feature may however reflect evolution of this particular taxon and not a general trait shared by all ectomycorrhizal species. To get a better understanding of the biology and evolution of the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, we report here the sequence of the haploid genome of $T.\ melanosporum$, which at $\sim$125 megabases is the largest and most complex fungal genome sequenced so far. This expansion results from a proliferation of transposable elements accounting for $\sim$58% of the genome. In contrast, this genome only contains $\sim$7,500 protein-coding genes with very rare multigene families. It lacks large sets of carbohydrate cleaving enzymes, but a few of them involved in degradation of plant cell walls are induced in symbiotic tissues. The latter feature and the upregulation of genes encoding for lipases and multicopper oxidases suggest that $T.\ melanosporum$ degrades its host cell walls during colonization. Symbiosis induces an increased expression of carbohydrate and amino acid transporters in both $L.\ bicolor$ and $T.\ melanosporum$, but the comparison of genomic traits in the two ectomycorrhizal fungi showed that genetic predispositions for symbiosis $-$'the symbiosis toolbox'$-$ evolved along different ways in ascomycetes and basidiomycetes

Abstract: Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers have been shown to be useful in genetic investigations of medically important parasites and their hosts. In this paper, we describe the prediction and validation of SNPs in ESTs of Schistosoma mansoni. We used 107,417 public sequences of S. mansoni and identified 15,614 high-quality candidate SNPs in 12,184 contigs. The presence of predicted SNPs was observed in well characterized antigens and vaccine candidates such as those coding for myosin; Sm14 and Sm23; cathepsin B and triosephosphate isomerase (TPI). Additionally, SNPs were experimentally validated for the cathepsin B. A comparative model of the S. mansoni cathepsin B was built for predicting the possible consequences of amino acid substitutions on the protein structure. An analysis of the substitutions indicated that the amino acids were mostly located on the surface of the molecule, and we found no evidence for a significant conformational change of the enzyme. However, at least one of the substitutions could result in a structural modification of an epitope.

14. Evidence for a dispersed Hox gene cluster in the platyhelminth parasite Schistosoma mansoni

Abstract: In most bilaterian organisms so far studied, Hox genes are organized in genomic clusters and determine development along the anteroposterior axis. It has been suggested that this clustering, together with spatial and temporal colinearity of gene expression, represents the ancestral condition. However, in organisms with derived modes of embryogenesis and lineage-dependent mechanisms for the determination of cell fate, temporal colinearity of expression can be lost and Hox cluster organization disrupted, as is the case for the ecdysozoans Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans and the urochordates Ciona intestinalis and Oikopleura dioica. We sought to determine whether a lophotrochozoan, the platyhelminth parasite Schistosoma mansoni, possesses a conserved or disrupted Hox cluster. Using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based strategy, we have cloned and characterized three novel S. mansoni genes encoding orthologues of Drosophila labial (SmHox 1), deformed (SmHox4), and abdominal A (SmHox8), as well as the full-length coding sequence of the previously described Smox1, which we identify as an orthologue of fushi tarazu. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR showed that the four genes were expressed at all life-cycle stages but that levels of expression were differentially regulated. Phylogenetic analysis and the conservation of "parapeptide'' sequences ('"-terminal to the homeodomains of SmHox8 and Smox1 support the grouping of platyhelminths within the lophotrochozoan clade. However, Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) library screening followed by genome walking failed to reconstitute a cluster. The BAC clones containing Hox genes were sequenced. and in no case were other Hox genes found on the same clone. Moreover, the SmHox4 and SmHox8 genes contained single very large introns (>40 kbp) further indicating that the schistosome Hox cluster is highly extended. Localization of the Hox genes to chromosomes using fluorescence in situ hybridization showed that SinHox4 and SmHox8 are on the long arm of chromosome 4, whereas SmHox1 and Smox1 are on chromosome 3. In silico screening of the available genome sequences corroborated results of Southern blotting and BAC library screening that indicate that there are no paralogues of SmHox1, SmHox4, or SmHox8. The schistosome Hox cluster is therefore not duplicated, but is both dispersed and disintegrated in the genome.

Abstract: 47 refs.; International audience; Ralstonia solanacearum is a devastating, soil-borne plant pathogen with a global distribution and an unusually wide host range. It is a model system for the dissection of molecular determinants governing pathogenicity. We present here the complete genome sequence and its analysis of strain GMI1000. The 5.8-megabase (Mb) genome is organized into two replicons: a 3.7-Mb chromosome and a 2.1-Mb megaplasmid. Both replicons have a mosaic structure providing evidence for the acquisition of genes through horizontal gene transfer. Regions containing genetically mobile elements associated with the percentage of G+C bias may have an important function in genome evolution. The genome encodes many proteins potentially associated with a role in pathogenicity. In particular, many putative attachment factors were identified. The complete repertoire of type III secreted effector proteins can be studied. Over 40 candidates were identified. Comparison with other genomes suggests that bacterial plant pathogens and animal pathogens harbour distinct arrays of specialized type III-dependent effectors.

Abstract: Saccharomyces bayanus var. uvarum investigated here is the species closest to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Random sequence tags (RSTs) allowed us to identify homologues to 2789 open reading frames (ORFs) in S. cerevisiae, ORFs duplicated in S. uvarum but not in S. cerevisiae, centromeres, tRNAs, homologues of Ty1/2 and Ty4 retrotransposons, and a complete rDNA repeat. Only 13 RSTs seem to be homologous to sequences in other organisms but not in S. cerevisiae. As the synteny between the two species is very high, cases in which synteny is lost suggest special mechanisms of genome evolution. The corresponding RSTs revealed that S. uvarum can exist without any S. cerevisiae DNA introgression. Accession numbers are from AL397139 to AL402278 in the EMBL databank.

Abstract: A genomic exploration of Kluyveromyces thermotolerans was performed by random sequence tag (RST) analysis. We sequenced 2653 RSTs corresponding to inserts sequenced from both ends. We performed a systematic comparison with a complete set of proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, other completely sequenced genomes and SwissProt. We identified six mitochondrial genes and 1358–1496 nuclear genes by comparison with S. cerevisiae. In addition, 25 genes were identified by comparison with other organisms. This corresponds to about 24% of the estimated gene content of this organism. A lower level of conservation is observed with orthologues to genes of S. cerevisiae previously classified as orphans. Gene order was found to be conserved between S. cerevisiae and K. thermotolerans in 56.5% of studied cases.

Abstract: We explored the biological diversity of hemiascomycetous yeasts using a set of 22 000 newly identified genes in 13 species through BLASTX searches. Genes without clear homologue in Saccharomyces cerevisiae appeared to be conserved in several species, suggesting that they were recently lost by S. cerevisiae. They often identified well-known species-specific traits. Cases of gene acquisition through horizontal transfer appeared to occur very rarely if at all. All identified genes were ascribed to functional classes. Functional classes were differently represented among species. Species classification by functional clustering roughly paralleled rDNA phylogeny. Unequal distribution of rapidly evolving, ascomycete-specific, genes among species and functions was shown to contribute strongly to this clustering. A few cases of gene family amplification were documented, but no general correlation could be observed between functional differentiation of yeast species and variations of gene family sizes. Yeast biological diversity seems thus to result from limited species-specific gene losses or duplications, and for a large part from rapid evolution of genes and regulatory factors dedicated to specific functions.

Abstract: Random sequence tags were obtained from a genomic DNA library of Saccharomyces exiguus. The mitochondrial genome appeared to be at least 25.7 kb in size, with a different organization compared to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. An unusual putative 953 bp long terminal repeated element associated to Ty3 was found. A set of 1451 genes was identified homologous to S. cerevisiae open reading frames. Only five genes were identified outside the S. cerevisiae taxon, confirming that S. exiguus is phylogenetically closely related to S. cerevisiae. Unexpectedly, numerous duplicated genes were found whereas they are unique in S. cerevisiae. The sequences are deposited at EMBL under the accession numbers: AL407377–AL409955.

Abstract: Arabidopsis thaliana is an important model system for plant biologists. In 1996 an international collaboration (the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative) was formed to sequence the whole genome of Arabidopsis and in 1999 the sequence of the first two chromosomes was reported. The sequence of the last three chromosomes and an analysis of the whole genome are reported in this issue. Here we present the sequence of chromosome 3, organized into four sequence segments (contigs). The two largest (13.5 and 9.2 Mb) correspond to the top (long) and the bottom (short) arms of chromosome 3, and the two small contigs are located in the genetically defined centromere. This chromosome encodes 5,220 of the roughly 25,500 predicted protein-coding genes in the genome. About 20% of the predicted proteins have significant homology to proteins in eukaryotic genomes for which the complete sequence is available, pointing to important conserved cellular functions among eukaryotes.

Abstract: The genome of Saccharomyces servazzii was analyzed with 2570 random sequence tags totalling 2.3 Mb. BLASTX comparisons revealed a minimum of 1420 putative open reading frames with significant homology to Saccharomyces cerevisiae (58% aa identity on average), two with Schizosaccharomyces pombe and one with a human protein, confirming that S. servazzii is closely related to S. cerevisiae. About 25% of the S. servazzii genes were identified, assuming that the gene complement is identical in both yeasts. S. servazzii carries very few transposable elements related to Ty elements in S. cerevisiae. Most of the mitochondrial genes were identified in eight contigs altogether spanning 25 kb for a predicted size of 29 kb. A significant match with the Kluyveromyces lactis linear DNA plasmid pGKL-1 encoded RF4 killer protein suggests that a related plasmid exists in S. servazzii. The sequences have been deposited with EMBL under the accession numbers AL402279–AL404848.

Abstract: By analyzing 2830 random sequence tags (RSTs), totalling 2.7 Mb, we explored the genome of the marine, osmo- and halotolerant yeast, Debaryomyces hansenii. A contig 29 kb in length harbors the entire mitochondrial genome. The genes encoding Cox1, Cox2, Cox3, Cob, Atp6, Atp8, Atp9, several subunits of the NADH dehydrogenase complex 1 and 11 tRNAs were unambiguously identified. An equivalent number of putative transposable elements compared to Saccharomyces cerevisiae were detected, the majority of which are more related to higher eukaryote copia elements. BLASTX comparisons of RSTs with databases revealed at least 1119 putative open reading frames with homology to S. cerevisiae and 49 to other genomes. Specific functions, including transport of metabolites, are clearly over-represented in D. hansenii compared to S. cerevisiae, consistent with the observed difference in physiology of the two species. The sequences have been deposited with EMBL under the accession numbers AL436045–AL438874.

Abstract: A total of 4940 random sequence tags of the dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica , totalling 4.9 Mb, were analyzed. BLASTX comparisons revealed at least 1229 novel Y. lipolytica genes 1083 genes having homology with Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes and 146 with genes from various other genomes. This confirms the rapid sequence evolution assumed for Y. lipolytica . Functional analysis of newly discovered genes revealed that several enzymatic activities were increased compared to S. cerevisiae , in particular, transport activities, ion homeostasis, and various metabolism pathways. Most of the mitochondrial genes were identified in contigs spanning more than 47 kb. Matches to retrotransposons were observed, including a S. cerevisiae Ty3 and a LINE element. The sequences have been deposited with EMBL under the accession numbers AL409956 – AL414895 .

Abstract: A method is described for mutagenesis of Pseudomonas fluorescens strains by electroporation with the transposon delivery vector pUT/mini-Tn5 Km. The transposition process was shown to be optimal at 12.5 kV cm-1 for a pulse time (Bowen and Koslak, 1992) of about 4 ms. The Pseudomonas fluorescens L6.5 target strain exhibited maximal electrocompetence when harvested at the middle of the exponential growth phase. As many as 7.7 10(5) mutants per picomole of delivery vector (7.5 kb) could be obtained, and these kanamycin-resistant mutants were shown to have lost the pUT plasmid. By external calibration with plasmids of increasing size (from 11.5 to 60.1 kb), the efficiency of the transformation process was evaluated to be approximately 1.31 x 10(8) transformants per picomole of delivery vector. Efficiency of the transposition process was 0.58%. This rapid method was used to tag for the cloning three independent chromosomal loci responsible for the Alk+ phenotype of Pseudomonas fluorescens L6.5 strain.

Abstract: The genome of Saccharomyces kluyveri was explored through 2528 random sequence tags with an average length of 981 bp. The complete nuclear ribosomal DNA unit was found to be 8656 bp in length. Sequences homologous to retroelements of the gypsy and copia types were identified as well as numerous solo long terminal repeats. We identified at least 1406 genes homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae open reading frames, with on average 58.1% and 72.4% amino acid identity and similarity, respectively. In addition, by comparison with completely sequenced genomes and the SwissProt database, we found 27 novel S. kluyveri genes. Most of these genes belong to pathways or have functions absent from S. cerevisiae , such as the catabolic pathway of purines or pyrimidines, melibiose fermentation, sorbitol utilization, or degradation of pollutants. The sequences are deposited in EMBL under the accession numbers AL404849 – AL407376 .

Abstract: As part of a comparative genomics project on 13 hemiascomycetous yeasts, the Pichia angusta type strain was studied using a partial random sequencing strategy. With coverage of 0.5 genome equivalents, about 2500 novel protein-coding genes were identified, probably corresponding to more than half of the P. angusta protein-coding genes, 6% of which do not have homologs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Some of them contain one or two introns, on average three times shorter than those in S. cerevisiae. We also identified 28 tRNA genes, a few retrotransposons similar to Ty5 of S. cerevisiae, solo long terminal repeats, the whole ribosomal DNA cluster, and segments of mitochondrial DNA. The P. angusta sequences were deposited in EMBL under the accession numbers AL430961 to AL436044.

Abstract: Comparisons of the 6213 predicted Saccharomyces cerevisiae open reading frame (ORF) products with sequences from organisms of other biological phyla differentiate genes commonly conserved in evolution from ‘maverick’ genes which have no homologue in phyla other than the Ascomycetes. We show that a majority of the ‘maverick’ genes have homologues among other yeast species and thus define a set of 1892 genes that, from sequence comparisons, appear ‘Ascomycetes-specific’. We estimate, retrospectively, that the S. cerevisiae genome contains 5651 actual protein-coding genes, 50 of which were identified for the first time in this work, and that the present public databases contain 612 predicted ORFs that are not real genes. Interestingly, the sequences of the ‘Ascomycetes-specific’ genes tend to diverge more rapidly in evolution than that of other genes. Half of the ‘Ascomycetes-specific’ genes are functionally characterized in S. cerevisiae, and a few functional categories are over-represented in them.

Abstract: We have evaluated the degree of gene redundancy in the nuclear genomes of 13 hemiascomycetous yeast species. Saccharomyces cerevisiae singletons and gene families appear generally conserved in these species as singletons and families of similar size, respectively. Variations of the number of homologues with respect to that expected affect from 7 to less than 24% of each genome. Since S. cerevisiae homologues represent the majority of the genes identified in the genomes studied, the overall degree of gene redundancy seems conserved across all species. This is best explained by a dynamic equilibrium resulting from numerous events of gene duplication and deletion rather than by a massive duplication event occurring in some lineages and not in others.

Abstract: The genome of the diploid hemiascomycetous yeast Candida tropicalis, an opportunistic human pathogen and an important organism for industrial applications, was explored by the analysis of 2541 Random Sequenced Tags (RSTs) covering about 20% of its genome. Comparison of these sequences with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other species permitted the identification and the analysis of a total of more than 1000 novel genetic elements of C. tropicalis. Moreover, the present study confirms that in C. tropicalis, the rare CUG codon is read as a serine and not a leucine. The sequences have been deposited at EMBL with the accession numbers AL438875–AL441602.
