The <em>Ashbya gossypii</em> genome as a tool for mapping the ancient <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em> genome (Publications)
We have sequenced and annotated the genome of the filamentous ascomycete Ashbya gossypii. With a size of only 9.2 megabases, encoding 4718 protein-coding genes, it is the smallest genome of a free-living [...] compelling evidence that the evolution of S. cerevisiae included a whole genome duplication or fusion of two related species and showed, through inferred ancient gene orders, which of the duplicated genes lost [...] lost one copy and which retained both copies

We also isolated neurological health loss from conditions for which nervous system morbidity is a consequence [...] loss. A comorbidity correction was used to calculate total prevalence of all conditions that affect the nervous system combined. FINDINGS: Globally, the 37 conditions affecting the nervous system were [...] ION: As the leading cause of overall disease burden in the world, with...
