2013-08-14 YIL080W

YIL080W was included in the original annotation in error and was later withdrawn because it overlaps completely with functional transposable element gene YIL082W-A. It was annotated with the same start as YIL082W-A, but with a different stop codon 225 bp downstream, resulting in an incorrectly appended C-terminus containing internal stops.

2007-04-03 YILWdelta2

YILCdelta2, a Ty2 LTR on Chromosome IX, was mistakenly annotated on the wrong strand (i.e., on Crick instead of Watson). Both the orientation and the feature name have been corrected, so that the LTR now has the systematic name YILWdelta2 and is annotated on the Watson strand. Thanks go to Bertrand Llorente for bringing this annotation error to our attention. The name YILCdelta2 is being retained as an alias.

2006-01-24 YIL053W

Based on 5' SAGE transcription start site data and experimental verification of the start methionine, the start site for YIL053W was moved 63 bp downstream. As a consequence, YIL053W was shorted on the 5' end, altering the N-terminus and shortening the size of the predicted protein from 271 amino acids to 250 amino acids.

Based on based on 5' SAGE TSS data, Zhang and Dietrich suggest that the start site for CBR1/YIL043C be moved 114 nt (38 codons) downstream. These data corroborate the start site that Kellis et al. predicted based on the alignment of multiple orthologous sequences. This change has been incorporated into SGD and the numbering for both the nucleotides in the DNA coding sequence and the amino acids in the predicted protein have been changed accordingly.

Based on the alignment of orthologs in related Saccharomyces species, Cliften et al. proposed an intron and new 5' exon for SPO22/YIL073C. The resulting ORF is in the same frame, but has an 89-residue extension at the N-terminus. This change was reviewed and accepted by SGD curators.

2003-09-22 YIR014W

The automated comparison of closely related Saccharomyces species suggests that the start site for YIR014W be moved 102 nt (34 codons) downstream. This suggestion was reviewed and accepted by SGD curators. The numbering for both the nucleotides in the DNA coding sequence and the amino acids in the predicted protein have been changed accordingly. Evidence supporting this change includes: 1) This is the predicted start methionine in the majority of Saccharomyces species orthologs analyzed by Kellis et al. and/or Cliften et al.; 2) Significant sequence conservation begins abruptly at this predicted start methionine.

Spingola et al. 1999 identified an intron in YIL106W that was not previously annotated, and also identified a different start codon. The intron has been added, and the start shifted upstream. The old chromosomal coordinates for YIL106W were 166731-167441 (coding 1-711). The new chromosomal coordinates are 166412-167441 (coding 1-20..106-1030).

1998-05-21 YIR020W-A

The following 27 ORFs were added to the genome annotation based on Velculescu et al. 1997: YBL091C-A, YBL107W-A, YCR018C-A, YCR102W-A, YDL130W-A, YDR034C-A, YDR034W-B, YDR363W-A, YDR525W-A, YER048W-A, YER091C-A, YER138W-A, YGR122C-A, YIR020W-B, YKL033W-A, YKL053C-A, YKL162C-A, YLL018C-A, YLR262C-A, YML081C-A, YMR046W-A, YMR158C-B, YMR194C-A, YNR032C-A, YOL013W-A, YOR298C-A, and YPR002C-A.

The coordinates of the tag sequences along the genome were determined and each tag was classified into one of these four categories: 1) class 1 - within an existing ORF, 2) class 2 - within 500 bp downstream of existing an ORF, 3) class 4 - opposite of an existing ORF, or 4) class 3 - none of the above. The regions between two existing ORFs which contained one or more unique class 3 tags (number 4) above) were examined for potential coding sequences in which the unique tag was located either within the coding sequence or 500bp downstream of this sequence. BLASTP analysis was then performed for each potential ORF meeting these criteria against the non-redundant (nr) NCBI dataset, and those with a P value exponent of -6 or less were analyzed further. The BLAST results were analyzed on an individual basis for each potential ORF meeting the above criteria. Those potential ORFs which exhibited reasonable homology to other proteins, and did not appear to be matched with other proteins based on homology to repetitive sequences alone, were identified and entered into SGD.
