Page "Schizosaccharomyces pombe" Paragraph 13

* Both species share genes with higher eukaryotes that they do not share with each other.

S. pombe has RNAi machinery genes like those in vertebrates, while this is missing from S. cerevisiae.

S. cerevisiae also has greatly simplified heterochromatin compared to S. pombe.

Conversely, S. cerevisiae has well-developed peroxisomes, while S. pombe does not.
