Yarrowia lipolytica is an oleaginous yeast that is capable of accumulating significant cellular mass in lipid making it an important source of biosustainable hydrocarbon-based chemicals.
The genome sequence and gene prediction of Yarrowia lipolytica strain W29/CLIB89 have not been determined by the Joint Genome Institute (JGI), but were downloaded from NCBI on March 19, 2019. In order to allow comparative analyses with other fungal genomes sequenced by the JGI, a copy of this genome is incorporated into Mycocosm. Please note that this copy of the genome is not maintained by NCBI and is therefore not automatically updated. JGI tools were used to automatically annotate predicted proteins.
