The pan-genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Understanding genotype-phenotype relationship is fundamental in biology. With the benefit from next-generation sequencing and high-throughput phenotyping methodologies, there have been generated much genome and phenome data for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This makes it an excellent model system to understand the genotype-phenotype relationship. In this paper, we presented the reconstruction and application of the yeast pan-genome in resolving genotype-phenotype relationship by a machine learning-assisted approach.
