Protocol describes a method for plating cells for microinjection onto etched coverslips. The coverslips for microinjection must be marked so that microinjected cells can be identified at time points after injection. - [Read Plating Cells for Microinjection Protocol]
Segmented and polarity-marked microtubules are very useful for many different types of in vitro assays. Segmented microtubules are microtubules with a bright seed and dim elongated segments on both ends. Polarity marked microtubules are microtubules with a bright seed and a dim elongated segment only on one end -- the plus end. - [Read Preparation of Segmented and Polarity Marked Microtubules Protocol]
Protocol for spore germination. This procedure is typically used for the isolation and preparation of spores from a diploid strain heterozygous for a marked disruption (e.g., yfg1::his3+) Inoculation of the spore population into minimal medium lacking the nutritional supplement corresponding to the disruption marker (e.g., minimal medium lacking histidine) allows only the disruption spores to germinate. - [Read Spore Germination Protocol]
