Update of Yarrowia lipolytica E150 genome sequence and annotation

The genome of Yarrowia lipolytica strain E150 was sequenced in 2004 by Génolevures (Dujon et al., Nature 2004). However, by comparison to other Y. lipolytica available genomes, it appears that a quite large region was missing at the 3’ extremity of chromosome Yali0D. The Sanger reads produced by the Génoscope in 2004 were manually re-assembled in that part of the genome and an extension of 28,097 bp was added, which contains 12 protein-coding genes. In total, E150 genome contains 6,509 protein-coding genes. This does not include the 30 alternative splicing isoforms nor the 63 transposable elements with a coding sequence.
