FIGURE 1.

Phylogenetic tree of selected yeast species with identified TER genes. The tree, derived from the sequences of the D1/D2 domain of 26S rRNA genes, was calculated by the MEGA 4 software package (Tamura et al. 2007). The Schizosaccharomyces pombe sequence was used as an outgroup. The right panel shows the chromosomal context of the TER1 loci. S. cerevisiae homologs are shown in parentheses. We mapped the TER1 locus on the chromosome I (∼3 Mbp) in C. parapsilosis strains CBS604 and SR23 (data not shown).
