In recent years, ‘multi-omic’ sciences have affected all aspects of fundamental and applied biological research. Yeast taxonomists, though somewhat timidly, have begun to incorporate complete genomic sequences into the description of novel taxa, taking advantage of these powerful data to calculate more reliable genetic distances, construct more robust phylogenies, correlate genotype with phenotype and even reveal cryptic sexual behaviors. However, the use of genomic data in formal yeast species descriptions is far from widespread. The present review examines published examples of genome-based species descriptions of yeasts, highlights relevant bioinformatic approaches, provides recommendations for new users and discusses some of the challenges facing the genome-based systematics of yeasts.

酵母分类基因组学：基于完整基因组序列的新物种描述的经验教训。

近年来，“多组学”科学已经影响到基础和应用生物学研究的方方面面。酵母分类学家虽然有些胆怯，但已经开始将完整的基因组序列纳入新分类群的描述中，利用这些强大的数据来计算更可靠的遗传距离，构建更强大的系统发育，将基因型与表型相关联，甚至揭示神秘的性行为。然而，在正式的酵母物种描述中使用基因组数据还远未普及。本综述审查了已发表的基于基因组的酵母物种描述示例，突出了相关的生物信息学方法，为新用户提供了建议，并讨论了基于基因组的酵母系统学面临的一些挑战。
