We report the sequence analysis of a 10 531 bp DNA fragment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome VII. This sequence contains five complete open reading frames (ORFs) potentially encoding proteins longer than 100 amino acids and an incomplete ORF coding for the 3 part of the GCN5 gene (Georgakopoul

โฆ Synopsis
We have analysed short open reading frames (between 150 and 300 base pairs long) of the yeast genome (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) with a two-step strategy. The first step selects a candidate set of open reading frames from the DNA sequence based on statistical evaluation of DNA and protein sequence properties. The second step filters the candidate set by selecting open reading frames with high similarity to other known sequences (from any organism). As a result, we report ten new predicted proteins not present in the current sequence databases. These include a new alcohol dehydrogenase, a protein probably related to the cell cycle, as well as a homolog of the prokaryotic ribosomal protein L36 likely to be a mitochondrial ribosomal protein coded in the nuclear genome. We conclude that the analysis of short open reading frames leads to biologically interesting discoveries, even though the quantitative yield of new proteins is relatively low.

The complete sequence of a 36 196 bp DNA segment located on the right arm of chromosome XV of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined and analysed. The sequence includes the 5 coding region of the SNF2 gene, the CPA1 leader peptide sequence and 17 open reading frames (ORFs) of at least 100 amin
The nucleotide sequence of 37 639 bp of the right arm of chromosome XII has been determined. Twenty-five open reading frames (ORFs) longer than 300 bp were detected, two of which extend into the flanking cosmids. Only two (L2931 and L2961) of the 25 ORFs correspond to previously sequenced genes (HOG
