| Abstract: | The DNA sequence of an 8079 bp ClaI fragment located at 40 kb from the centromere on the left arm of chromosome II from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined. Sequence analysis reveals five new open reading frames, tRNA(Gly) and tRNA(Leu) genes as well as sigma and truncated delta elements. The disruption of the three larger open reading frames shows that they are not essential for mitotic growth. |
