Course will be held January 11-15, 2027 in Tulln
Yeast: classical genetics, yeast transformation, vector types, transformation markers, expression signals, 2-hybrid system and derivatives, regulatable promoters, proteasome, prions in yeast. Genomics: use of genome databases for yeast and sequenced fungi
In the practical part of the course specific topics from the theoretical part will be applied: yeast media will be prepared and methods such as transformation, genomic DNA isolation, Y2H system, crosses, sporulation, etc. will be performed.
- Previous knowledge expected
-
basic knowledge in genetics and biochemistry
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
The participants will get an overview about methods and techniques for genetic manipulation of yeast, with a focus on the use of the yeast 2-hybrid system. They will be able to perform basic techniques such as crosses, sporulation, transformation, screening in baker's yeast.
