    Data from the Yeast Gene Order Browser (YGOB)
 	         Version 2 (Jun2007)

======================================================

 (1) Pillars.tab [1 file]

 This file lists all of the homology pillars used in 
 YGOB with columns for each of the available 
 positions in a pillar.

 These are, from left to right:

   K. polysporus Position 1
   S. castellii Position 1
   C. glabrata Position 1
   S. bayanus Position 1
   S. cerevisiae Position 1
   Ancestral Gene Order
   A. gossypii 
   K. lactis
   K. waltii
   S. kluyveri
   S. cerevisiae Position 2
   S. bayanus Position 2
   C. glabrata Position 2
   S. castellii Position 2
   K. polysporus Position 2

 The order of the columns and the genes is ARBITRARY,
 and does NOT indicate presence on an A or B "track",
 or any syntenic relationships. This file just 
 contains the underlying homology assignments used
 in YGOB. For syntenic information for a locus or 
 region of interest the '+' button in the bottom 
 left hand corner of the YGOB interface will output 
 syntenic information in a tab delimited text format. 
 

 (2) *_genome.tab [10 files]  

 These files are ordered lists of the genes in each 
 of the ten genomes included in YGOB Version 2. 
 The columns contain, from left to right:

   Gene Name
   Chromosome, Scaffold or Contig Name
   Orientation (W=Watson, C=Crick)  


 (3) Proteins.fsa [1 file] 

 Protein sequences (in FASTA format) for the genes 
 in the above annotation files.


 (4) Kpolysporus_GenBank_AAZN.txt [1 file]

 The annotation of the genome sequence of 
 Kluyveromyces polysporus has been deposited in 
 GenBank (accession number AAZN00000000) and can
 be downloaded or examined there. 

 This flatfile contains the annotation that we 
 submitted to GenBank.  

 A zipped version is also available.
