A novel method employing polymerase chain reaction was developed for the disruption of yeast genes lacking convenient restriction enzyme sites. The method was found to be easy and effective. Using this method, a yeast YKE2 gene (a yeast homolog of murine k-region expressed genes) were successfully disrupted by replacement of HIS3 marker gene.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
