Yeast Protocols

This fourth edition provides all new methods on yeast that have not been included in the past three editions. Divided in four parts, chapters guide readers through general applications for genetic manipulation in yeast cells, genome-wide studies, systematically rearrange the yeast chromosomes, and pathway methods. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Yeast Protocol, Fourth Edition aims to compliment previous editions while offering new tools for the yeast research community.
