Molecular Genetics of Yeast: A Practical Approach - John Ed Johnston

. .

Résumé :
The book covers comprehensively all current experimental procedures used in the research of the genetics and molecular biology of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Featuring detailed protocols and practical tips, it guarantees easy access to a wide range of specialized topics within this rapidly advancing field. Internationally-recognized experts present all methods currently in use, discussing topics such as DNA isolulation, cloning and expression vectors, cosmid cloning, construction and use of cDNA libraries, plasmid shuffling and mutant isolulation. Chapters on Ty insertional mutagenesis, high efficiency transformation, cell-free translation of mRNAs, Ty virus-like particles, and applications to industrial strains of yeast are also included. Researchers in the fields of molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry working with this yeast, as well as professionals of the biotechnology industry will refer to this practical reference frequently.
