We continued our effort to make a comprehensive database (LISTA) for the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this database each sequence has been attributed a single genetic name. In the case of duplicated sequences a simple method has been applied to distinguish between sequences of one and the same gene from non-allelic sequences of duplicated genes. If necessary, synonyms are given in the case of allelic duplicated sequences. Thus sequences can be found either by the name or by synonyms given in LISTA. Each entry contains the genetic name, the mnemonic from the EMBL data bank, the codon bias, reference of the publication of the sequence, Chromosomal location as far as known, Swissprot and EMBL accession numbers. To obtain more information on the included sequences, each entry has been screened against non-redundant nucleotide and protein data bank collections resulting in LISTA-HON and LISTA-HOP. The LISTA data base can be linked to the associated data sets or to nucleotide and protein banks by the Sequence Retrieval System (SRS).
