This work was partially supported by the Portuguese Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia via:

• National funds through Programa Operacional Regional de Lisboa 2020, LISBOA-01-0145-FEDER-022231 – the Biodata.pt Research Infrastructure.

The N.C. Yeastract database was constructed based on the YEASTRACT database (http://yeastract.com).
All past and present colleagues and collaborators of the YEASTRACT project are deeply acknowledged.

The information about non-conventional yeast genes other than documented regulations, potential regulations and the TF binding sites contained in N.C. Yeastract are gathered from: Ensembl Fungi, GenBank, Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium and YEASTRACT. We acknowledge these platforms for making that information available to the public by easy file downloads.

We are additionally grateful to colleagues and friends from the yeast community for their encouragement and suggestions.
