The genomes of two hemiascomycetous yeasts
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans) and
one archiascomycete (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) have
been completely sequenced and the genes have been
annotated. In addition, the genomes of 13 more Hemiascomycetes
have been partially sequenced. The amount
of data thus obtained provides information on the evolutionary
relationships between yeast species. In addition,
the differential genetic characteristics of the
microorganisms explain a number of distinctive biological
traits. Gene order conservation is observed between
phylogenetically close species and is lost in distantly
related species, probably due to rearrangements of short
regions of DNA. However, gene function is much more
conserved along evolution. Compared to S. cerevisiae
and S. pombe, C. albicans has a larger number of specific
genes, i.e., genes not found in other organisms, a fact
that can account for the biological characteristics of this
pathogenic dimorphic yeast which is able to colonize a
large variety of environments. |
