A novel strategy for separation of co-cloned YACs was developed. For this, yeast cells were grown under non-selective conditions to allow the mitotic loss of multiple YACs. Yeast colonies of different size appear on 'drop-out' selection plates with small clones consistently containing a single-copy YAC. Different auxotrophic marker genes can be used to separate co-cloned YACs or reduce their copy number, which is essential for most YAC-modification procedures.
开发了一种分离共克隆酵母人工染色体(YAC)的新策略。为此,酵母细胞在非选择性条件下生长,以使多个YAC发生有丝分裂丢失。在“缺陷型”选择平板上出现不同大小的酵母菌落,小克隆始终包含单拷贝YAC。不同的营养缺陷型标记基因可用于分离共克隆的YAC或减少其拷贝数,这对于大多数YAC修饰程序至关重要。
