# Сomplete genome sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae I-118, a wine strain isolated from Rkatsiteli grapes in Uzbekistan

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome of a wine yeast strain from Uzbekistan, which helps understand its role in wine production.

## Contribution

The study provides the complete genome sequence of a specific wine yeast strain from Rkatsiteli grapes in Uzbekistan.

## Key findings

- The complete genome sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae I-118 was determined.
- The strain was isolated from spontaneous fermentation of Rkatsiteli grapes and is used in white wine production.

## Abstract

We report the complete genome sequence of the wine yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae I-118. It was isolated from yeast sediment formed after spontaneous fermentation of Rkatsiteli grapes and is used to produce white wines. Genomic data provide the basis for linking the genotype of this strain with its oenological properties.
