TLDR
The entire DNA sequence of chromosome III of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined, which is the first complete sequence analysis of an entire chromosome from any organism.
Abstract
The entire DNA sequence of chromosome III of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined. This is the first complete sequence analysis of an entire chromosome from any organism. The 315-kilobase sequence reveals 182 open reading frames for proteins longer than 100 amino acids, of which 37 correspond to known genes and 29 more show some similarity to sequences in databases. Of 55 new open reading frames analysed by gene disruption, three are essential genes; of 42 non-essential genes that were tested, 14 show some discernible effect on phenotype and the remaining 28 have no overt function.

Designer deletion strains derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C: a useful set of strains and plasmids for PCR-mediated gene disruption and other applications.

TL;DR: A set of yeast strains based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C in which commonly used selectable marker genes are deleted by design based on the yeast genome sequence has been constructed and analysed and will reduce plasmid integration events which can interfere with a wide variety of molecular genetic applications.

New heterologous modules for classical or PCR‐based gene disruptions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: A dominant resistance module, for selection of S. cerevisiae transformants, which entirely consists of heterologous DNA is constructed and tested, and some kanMX modules are flanked by 470 bp direct repeats, promoting in vivo excision with frequencies of 10–3–10–4.

Genomic Libraries and a Host Strain Designed for Highly Efficient Two-Hybrid Selection in Yeast

TL;DR: A novel multienzyme approach was used to generate a set of highly representative genomic libraries from S. cerevisiae and a unique host strain was created that contains three easily assayed reporter genes, each under the control of a different inducible promoter.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors

TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.

Improved tools for biological sequence comparison.

TL;DR: Three computer programs for comparisons of protein and DNA sequences can be used to search sequence data bases, evaluate similarity scores, and identify periodic structures based on local sequence similarity.

Sequencing end-labeled DNA with base-specific chemical cleavages.

TL;DR: The chapter presents techniques for producing discrete DNA fragments, end-labeling DNA, segregating end- labeled fragments, extracting DNA from gels, and the protocols for partially cleaving it at specific bases using the chemical reactions.

One-step gene disruption in yeast

TL;DR: The one-step gene disruption techniques described here are versatile in that a disruption can be made simply by the appropriate cloning experiment and the resultant chromosomal insertion is nonreverting and contains a genetically linked marker.
