Details of 2021 Reference Genome Annotation Update R64.3

NOTE: this page still a work in progress

The S. cerevisiae strain S288C reference genome annotation was updated in its first major update since 2014. The new genome annotation is release R64.3.1, dated 2021-04-22. Note that the underlying genome sequence itself was not altered in any way.

This annotation update included (details in table below):

• 5 new ncRNAs
• 1 new recombination enhancer
• 7 new ORFs
• 1 new LTR
• 2 new uORFs
• 2 ORFs with shifted translation starts
• 1 ORF with shifted translation stop plus new intron
• Changed feature_type (and SO_term) for non-transcribed spacers
• New systematic nomenclature system for entire annotated complement of ncRNAs
