<scp>VII</scp>. Yeast sequencing reports. The sequence of an 11·1 kb fragment on the left arm of <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> chromosome VII reveals six open reading frames including <i>NSP49, KEM1</i> and four putative new genes

We report the sequence of an 11.1 kb fragment located on the left arm of chromosome VII of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By sequence analysis we have detected six open reading frames (ORFs) longer that 300 bp, which cover 87% of the entire sequence. ORF G1645 is 100% identical to the KEM1 gene, also identified as DST2, XRN1, SEP1 and RAR5, while G1648 is 100% identical to the NSP49 or NUP49 gene. ORF G1642 shares some identity with a hypothetical protein of Caenorhabditis elegans, while the other four ORFs show no significant homology to known proteins.
