** This directory contains files relating to the communication: 
"A small pool of disabled ORFs in the sequenced Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome
and its implications for the effects of the [PSI+] prion" , submitted. 

** Postscript files for the manuscript text and figures are in 
the subdirectory paper/.

** A GFF-format file for dORF annotations is:
dorfs.gff 

the fields in this file are: 
chromosome identifier, (pmh), (dorf), start, end, (.), 
sense of ORF [+ or -], (.), (complete_dorf), name. 

The 'name' is unique to each dORF; the naming will be changed to 
something more systematic in the future.  This name is used for the  
corresponding sequences in the FASTA files described below. 

** A FASTA-format file containing the disabled homology 
fragments around which the dORFs are constructed is in: 
dorfs.matching.seqs.fasta 

** A FASTA-format file containing the nucleotide sequences 
of the dORFs is in: 
dorfs.nt.fasta
