From: Did the early full genome sequencing of yeast boost gene function discovery?
The number of mentioned genes per year in relation to the total number publications with Yeast genes from year 1932–2022. We show the dynamics of the yeast gene function-related publications in connection with the number of genes mentioned per year. The number of publications (left y-axis) for each year is represented by the red line, whereas the number of genes mentioned per year (right y-axis) is shown by the blue line. Publication about yeast genes started to become frequent beginning with the year 1965. After 1996, we observed an increase in the number of genes mentioned per year, which coincides with the release of the first genome sequence of yeast. This phenomenon saturated around year 2010 where the number of publications keeps growing while the number of genes mentioned have plateaued
