The table lists the yeast species of indicated families under the same conditions as specified in Table 1. Strain numbers correspond to the reference indicated. Species in which several isolates have been sequenced in complete form or permanent drafts are indicated by bold type, and only one isolate is listed (the first one or the best one).

a

Genome sizes are indicated in bold type when determined from complete sequences and in brackets when deduced from scaffolds in assemblies (figures are haploid equivalent in case of known diploid strains). Sizes ignore rDNA, mtDNA, and plasmids.

b

Numbers of chromosomes are indicated in bold type when known. Figures in brackets correspond to numbers of scaffolds in assemblies.

c

Total numbers of predicted protein-coding genes (CDS) are taken from original publications or subsequent annotations, as most appropriate. Data not found indicated by —.

d

Unpublished data taken from the National BioRecource Project (www.jcm.riken.jp/cgi-bin/nbrp/nbrp_list.cgi).

e

Unpublished data taken from GenBank: LCTY00000000.1.

f

Unpublished data taken from GenBank: MDSA000000000.1.

g

G. candidum and L. starkeyi are listed here despite their large number of scaffolds because each genome represents the only reference available, so far, in its respective lineage.

h

Automated prediction based on comparisons to the CTG clade.

i

Unpublished data taken from http://genome.jgi.doe.gov (nonpublic).

j

Unpublished data taken from GenBank: LWLF00000000.1.

k

These are listed here for convenience and are the few sequenced yeast species not included in the four major subgroups of Saccharomycotina defined in this review. See Shen et al. (2016) for a recent genome-based phylogenetic reconstruction. The Lipomycetaceae family is basal to all Saccharomycotina.
