Preface

Over the last decades most investigations with yeasts have been carried out with the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. For these two yeasts both the nuclear and the mitochondrial genomes have been sequenced. The complete sequence of these organisms allows a rapid increase of data by genomic approaches. In this context we can classify Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe as conventional yeas
