Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Opis:
- We have analysed the coding capacity of ORFs longer than 100 codons found in the yeast genome. Comparing the parameters describing the DNA asymmetry in the set of known genes and the set of all ORFs>100 codons we have found that there are about 4700 coding ORFs in the yeast genome. Since for more than 2300 ORFs recognisable functions have been already found and for about 2000 ORFs homology to known genes has been identified - only about 400 ORFs can be considered as orphans - ORFs without any known function or homology. This finding means that there is no mystery of orphans - a paradox showing that the fraction of orphans has been growing with the growing number of genes with known functions in the yeast genome.
