Yeast Colony PCR

1. Using sterile pipette tips, transfer a 1 mm colony into 50 uL of 60 U/ml Zymolase
   • 3 uL of 1 U/mL Zymolase stock solution
   • 47 uL of water
2. Incubate cell suspension at 37 C for 30 minutes.
3. Incubate cell suspension at 95 C for 10 minutes.
4. Use 5 uL of the cell suspension for a 50 uL PCR reaction
