Published in: Yeast (Chichester, England) (2019)
From 1989 to 1997, the yeast genome was sequenced by a worldwide international consortium initiated and conducted by André Goffeau (1935-2018). The article describes the pioneering collaboration of yeast scientists from a bioinformatics perspective. Indeed, the yeast genome has turned bioinformatics from an exotic hobby of few nerds into a discipline indispensable for answering biological questions using computational methods.
