 <br><br>We recently added a new tool to SGD called the [http://www.yeastgenome.org/variant-viewer Variant Viewer].  You can use the Variant Viewer to compare the nucleotide and protein sequences of your favorite genes in twelve widely-used Saccharomyces cerevisiae genomes.  This tool uses sequence data derived from SGD publication [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/S000179596/overview Song et al., 2015] to show alignments, similarity scores, and sequence variants for open reading frames (ORFs) from the different strains relative to the S288C reference genome.
-To get started with the Variant Viewer check out our [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_DooZIUzxk tutorial video].  You can also read more about it in recent SGD paper [http://www.yeastgenome.org/reference/S000182068/overview Sheppard et al., 2015].

 We want to take this opportunity to wish you and your family, friends and lab mates the best during the upcoming holidays. Stanford University will be closed for two weeks starting on December 21st, reopening on January 4th, 2016. Although SGD staff members will be taking time off, the website will be up and running throughout the winter break, and we will attempt to keep connected via email should you have any questions.
