ABSTRACT
MOTIVATION Yeasts are often still identified with physiological growth tests, which are both time consuming and unsuitable for detection of a mixture of organisms. Hence, there is a need for molecular methods to identify yeast species. RESULTS:
A hashing technique has been developed to search for unique DNA sequences in 702 26S rRNA genes. A unique DNA sequence has been found for almost every yeast species described to date. The locations of the unique defining sequences are in accordance with the variability map of large subunit ribosomal RNA and provide detail of the evolution of the D1/D2 region. This approach will be applicable to the rapid identification of unique sequences in other DNA sequence sets.AVAILABILITY:
