To cite reference sequences:
Use the current Genome Release number in your citation. The latest version of the S. cerevisiae reference genome sequence is R64-5-1. Data files relevant to the current version of the S. cerevisiae strain S288C reference genome sequence and annotation are available for download at this URL: http://downloads.yeastgenome.org/sequence/S288C_reference/genome_releases/
GenBank sequences should be cited using versioned accession numbers. SGD has provided to NCBI the S. cerevisiae strain S288C reference sequence (RefSeq) genome and Third Party Annotation (TPA). The latest accession numbers for the 16 nuclear chromosomes and the mitochondrion can be found at this URL: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/128
