Why are the yeast chromosomes oriented and numbered the way they are?

Frequently Asked Questions
The current orientation is nothing more than a historical accident. The first map with chromosome numbers was published by Hawthorne and Mortimer (Genetics (1960) 45: 1085-1110). There were earlier maps by Lindgren and others but they did not name the chromosomes. It is clear from the first map the chromosomes were oriented with the long arm to the right of the centromere and this orientation has not changed. Since that 1960 paper, chromosomes I through X have been in the same orientation.
