- 5 new ncRNAs: GAL10-ncRNA, TBRT/XUT_2F-154, SUT169, PHO84 lncRNA, GAL4 lncRNA
- 2 new uORFs for ROK1/YGL171W
- 1 new recombination enhancer: RE
- 1 new LTR: YELWdelta27
- 3 ORFs with shifted translation starts: HPA3/YEL066W, YJR012C, LTO1/YNL260C
- 1 ORF with shifted translation stop plus new intron: LDO45/YMR147W
- Changed feature_type (and SO_term) for non-transcribed spacers: NTS1-2, NTS2-1, NTS2-2
- New systematic nomenclature system for entire annotated complement of ncRNAs
Various sequence and annotation files are available on SGD's Downloads site.

YeastMine Updates and New Templates
SGD has updated the current Gene-->UTRs template with newly calculated 5' and 3' UTR sequence/coordinates. We have also added a new template for Transcripts based on the data from the Pelachano et al 2013 study.
