The nucleotide sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome XII
Article Abstract:
Chromosome XIII of saccharomyces cerevisiae contains 459 open reading frames (ORFs), some of which encode previously identified proteins. 281 ORFs have not been previously sequenced, and 121 are similar to genes on which there is some biochemical information. Several putative pseudogenes were identified in the systematic sequencing of other chromosomes, and variations in chromosome XIII base composition are analysed. Local areas of high G+C composition were observed in many of the chromosome's intergenic regions.

The complete nucleotide sequence of chromosome 3 of Plasmodium falciparum
Article Abstract:
The Malaria Genome Sequencing Consortium aims to generate nearly all of the Plasmodium falciparum genome sequence. Analysis of P. falciparum chromosome 3 reveals novel features of chromosome organization and gene structure. The sub-telomeric regions of chromosome 3 indicate a conserved order of features, such as repetitive DNA sequences and a number of conserved pseudogenes. A putative centromere with a core region of around 2 kilobases with high adenine + thymidine composition was identified. 215 protein-coding genes and two transfer RNA genes are predicted in the 1,060,106-base-pair sequence.
