· Easy YAC Preparation Method (Andrew Davies,Shaw lab)
· Screening YAC libraries (Donis Keller Lab)
This is a method for screening YAC libraries for specific DNA sequences. Transformants are patched onto selective medium plates and colonies lifted to nylon filters for further growth. Cells are then lysed in place and the DNA is fixed to the filters. DNA probes are hybridized to the filters to test for the presence of specific sequences. A secondary screen is performed to ensure a positive hybridization.
