  1. *Assigning classical linkage groups [50,51,52] and adenine auxotrophies [49, 50] to the new chromosome classification in OK130 sorted after sequence length [20]: Chromosome 1 = classical linkage group I with A mating type locus, ade8 (with function prior to AIR ring closure [49]) and, 9 cM away from the A mating type locus, ade9 [51, 52] which appears to function as a regulatory enzyme rather than within the direct de novo pathway of purine biosynthesis [49] and might therefore be a dihydrofolate reductase gene for THF production located 752 kb downstream to A43β (recombination rate is then 83 kb/cM) with potential cross-pathway effects between de novo purine biosynthesis and THF-mediated C1, histidine and methionine metabolisms [42, 46]. A gene with potential GART function (step 3 in de novo purine biosynthesis) as one candidate for the unmapped gene ade4 functioning in the pathway prior to imidazole ring closure [49, 52] is present 1932 kb downstream of A43β, closer to the telomere. Chromosome 2 = classical linkage group III with trp1, trp3, ade2 (with function prior to AIR ring closure [49]) and ade12 (0.2 cM apart from ade2 [52] = an estimated distance of 5.6 to 6.6 kb [20, 33] which could point to CC1G_01221T0 for S-adenosylmethionine synthase at position Chr_2:1,226,385–1,227,850 or CC1G_01223T0 for diadenosine polyphosphate hydrolase and related proteins of the histidine triad (HIT) family at position Chr_2: 1,231,397–1,230,670 as potential candidates for ade12). Chromosome 3 = classical linkage group G with trp2 [51, 52], pcc1 [33], and, 16 cM distal to trp2 [51, 52], ade3 unidentified here with a function prior to AIR ring closure [49]. Chromosome 5 = classical linkage group IV with ade1 with CAIR synthase function [49]. Chromosome 6 (with a gene for a FGAMS function as another ade4 candidate) and chromosome 7 = classical linkage groups unclear. Chromosome 10 = classical linkage group II with B mating type locus, the bifunctional ade5 with adenylosuccinate lyase function [49], ad/his-1 and ad/his-2 which are likely ade5 alleles with cross-pathway effects on histidine biosynthesis via effects of the regulatory metabolite AICAR [46, 49]. Classical linkage groups V and VI with ade6 and an ad/met locus, respectively [51, 52] = new chromosome numbers unclear
