Links and notes

Arabidopsis thaliana---maybe move or rename page.

S. cerevisiae (budding yeast)

I recommend the Clontech Yeast Protocols Handbook and Matchmaker Handbook (takarabio.com), and the introductory guides by the late Fred Sherman.

Introduction by Duina et al. (2014): http://doi.org/10.1534/genetics.114.163188


Different names for dropout media

  • SC = synthetic complete.
  • SD = synthetic dropout/dextrose

Some people (e.g. Sherman) reserve the term 'SD' for minimal media without amino acids, and refer to the corresponding media with amino acids as 'SC'. Others (e.g. Clontech) refer to both as 'SD'. Still others refer to these (I think) as 'CSM' or 'CM'.

Abbreviation 1 for Yeast Extract/Peptone/Dextrose (YEPD) is easy to confuse with YEP media, and abbreviation 2 (YPDA [with Adenine]) is easy to confuse with Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) media!

Some people use 'YCM', which seems to just be YPD with 1% peptone instead of 2% peptone. Why?

Doubling times in YPD typically about 90 minutes, reaching stationary phase at around 16-18 hours. Doubling times in synthetic media typically about 140 minutes, reaching stationary phase at around 32-36 hours.

My sense is that Difco media are a bit expensive but are well worth it.

Other yeasts

High-molecular-weight DNA extraction protocol (zymolyase, phenol-chloroform) from the group of Lois L. Hoyer (no known relation), UIUC: https://www.protocols.io/view/extraction-of-yeast-high-molecular-weight-genomic-rm7vzb1b4vx1/v1
