Abstract

Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains NRRL Y-1646, Red Star, and VL3 are commercial yeast strains for baking and fermentation. These long-read genome assemblies will serve to better understand structural variation and biological properties of these strains.

Keywords: baking yeast; genomes; wine-making yeast.
