[Genome] refFlat or refGene file for yeast

[Rachel Harte]

Hi Wenxiu,

We do not have a RefSeq track for yeast, because there are not a large
number of RefSeq sequences for yeast. There is an SGD Genes track
that represents protein-coding genes for this organism.  This track shows
annotated genes and open reading frames (ORFs) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
obtained from the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD). It excludes ORFs
classified as dubious by SGD. The track data is in the sgdGene table.

You can download the sgdGene table from our downloads server. There are
also related tables such as sgdDescription that supplies the description
for each of these genes.

I hope that this helps you. Please let us know if you have further
questions.
