Correlation between observed transcripts and sequenced ORFs of chromosome III of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Most of the 155 transcripts of the genes on chromosome III of S.cerevisiae that were identified by a series of Northern hybridization experiments (Yoshikawa, A. and Isono, K., Yeast 6, 383-401, 1990) have been correlated with the open reading frames (ORFs) deduced from the nucleotide sequence data for this chromosome (Oliver, S.G. et al., Nature 357, 38-46, 1992). This was performed by comparing the experimentally constructed physical map and the one produced from the nucleotide sequence data, and then the sizes and positions of observed transcripts and those of sequenced ORFs. The data thus provide information for possible products of the sequenced ORFs (genes) of chromosome III of S.cerevisiae as well as their likely levels of expression in vegetatively growing cells.
