The yeast deletion project, formally the Saccharomyces Genome Deletion Project, is a project to create data for a near-complete collection of gene-deletion mutants of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Each strain carries a precise deletion of one of the genes in the genome. This allows researchers to determine what each gene does by comparing ...
Synthetic genetic array analysis is generally conducted using colony arrays on petriplates at standard densities (96, 384, 768, 1536). To perform a SGA analysis in S.cerevisiae, the query gene deletion is crossed systematically with a deletion mutant array (DMA) containing every viable knockout ORF of the yeast genome (currently 4786 strains).

Types of mutations that can be introduced by random, site-directed, combinatorial, or insertional mutagenesis. In molecular biology, mutagenesis is an important laboratory technique whereby DNA mutations are deliberately engineered to produce libraries of mutant genes, proteins, strains of bacteria, or other genetically modified organisms.
The number of clones that constitute a genomic library depends on (1) the size of the genome in question and (2) the insert size tolerated by the particular cloning vector system. For most practical purposes, the tissue source of the genomic DNA is unimportant because each cell of the body contains virtually identical DNA (with some exceptions).
Morgan Ortagus, a Donald Trump critic turned supporter, will serve as his deputy special envoy for Middle East peace.
A former Tennessee teacher who got pregnant after raping a 12-year-old boy pleaded guilty and has been sentenced to 25 years in prison with no parole. On Dec. 20, Alissa McCommon, 39, of Covington ...
A suspect is in custody after a knife attack at Grand Central 42 Street subway station in New York injured two with neck and wrist slashes.
An even more severe form of the disease can occur called thalassemia intermedia or ‘inclusion body’ thalassemia. Instead of decreased mRNA levels, a mutant transcript produces truncated β chains, which in turn leads to a clinical phenotype in the heterozygote. [11] Nonsense-mediated decay mutations can also contribute to Marfan syndrome ...
