▁and ▁identified ▁as ▁a ▁good ▁model ▁organ ism ▁with ▁several ▁advantages . ▁First ▁of ▁all , ▁P . ▁p ator is ▁can ▁be ▁grown ▁and ▁used ▁easily ▁in ▁lab . ▁Like ▁other ▁widely ▁used ▁ye ast ▁models , ▁it ▁has ▁relatively ▁short ▁life ▁span ▁and ▁fast ▁reg ener ation ▁time . ▁Moreover , ▁some ▁in exp ensive ▁culture ▁media ▁have ▁been ▁designed , ▁so ▁that ▁P . ▁p ator is ▁can ▁grow ▁quickly ▁on ▁them , ▁with ▁high ▁cell ▁density . ▁Wh ole ▁gen ome ▁sequ encing ▁for ▁P . ▁p ator is ▁had ▁been ▁performed . ▁The ▁P . ▁past oris ▁G S 1 1 5 ▁gen ome ▁has ▁been ▁sequ enced ▁by ▁the ▁Fland ers ▁Institute ▁for ▁Bi ote chn ology ▁and ▁Gh ent ▁University , ▁and ▁published ▁in ▁Nature ▁Bi ote chn ology . ▁The ▁gen ome ▁sequence ▁and ▁gene ▁annotation ▁can ▁be ▁brow sed ▁through ▁the ▁OR CA E ▁system . ▁The ▁complete ▁genom ic ▁data ▁allows ▁scient ists ▁to ▁identify ▁hom olog ous ▁prote ins ▁and ▁evolution ary ▁relationships ▁between ▁other ▁ye ast ▁species ▁and ▁P . ▁past oris . ▁Fur thur more , ▁P . ▁past oris ▁are ▁single ▁e uk ary otic ▁cells , ▁which ▁means ▁research ers ▁could ▁investigate ▁the ▁prote ins ▁inside ▁P . ▁past oris . ▁Then ▁the ▁hom olog ous ▁comparison ▁to ▁other ▁more ▁complicated ▁e uk ary otic ▁species ▁can ▁be ▁processed , ▁to ▁obtain ▁their ▁functions ▁and ▁orig ins . ▁ ▁Another ▁advantage ▁of ▁P . ▁past oris ▁is ▁its
