There are many software packages that can do this type of analysis. The GCG software package contains the Composition tool, which will determine the composition of sequences along with dinucleotide and trinucleotide content for nucleotide sequences. Click here for an example of the results from the Composition program run on the yeast genome. • There is a stop mutation in the middle of the TRP1 sequence in SGD; how can I get the wildtype sequence? The S288C strain that was sequenced for the systematic sequencing project has a nonsense mutation in TRP1; the sequence in SGD reflects this. Check the GenBank sequences associated with the TRP1 locus page (for example, V01341.1). • How many rDNA repeats are in the systematic sequence, and how are they represented? When the systematic sequencing of the yeast genome was performed, only two repeats of the rDNA region on chromosome XII were sequenced. The RDN5, RDN37, RDN58, RDN25, and RDN18 loci shown on the chromosomal map are meant to represe
