High Efficiency Transformation of a yeast strain requiring maintenance of a plasmid.

 

---

 

The two-hybrid system and other similar genetic screens in yeast involve the use of two different plasmids in a single yeast cell. One plasmid often contains a cloned gene or DNA sequence while the other plasmid contains a library of genomic or cDNA. While both plasmids can be co-transformed into a single yeast cell, it is often more efficient to transform the library pool into a strain already containing the first plasmid (R.D. Gietz, unpublished data).

Table 1 & Discussion ).

1. Inoculate the yeast strain containing the first plasmid into the appropriate volume of the appropriate SC-omission medium in a flask and incubate at 30 ^o C overnight.

   For each different Scale up use the appropriate size of culture
