Abstract

In April 1996, the complete sequence of the yeast genome has been released. Now, the systematic analysis of an entire eukaryotic genome is possible. To allow for a global view on the genomic data and for the visualization of sequence homologies within a whole genome, the Genomebrowser has been developed. Furthermore, a structural characterization of the yeast proteins using sequence comparison and structure prediction techniques has been performed. The complete sequence of the yeast genome associated with biological information is available through the W W W. In addition, an intranet solution has been developed to allow the detailed inspection of the Yeast Sequence Database. The CD-ROM includes the Genomebrowser, the functional classification of the open reading frames, aligned protein families and other services based on Java applications and the Netscape browser.
