Protocol describes an assay where it requires growing saturated cultures of yeast, counting, and spotting serial dilutions of yeast on both CSM and CSM + 6AU plates. - [Read 6-Azauracil Sensitivity Assay for Yeast Protocol]
Protocol describes mutagenesis of yeast with ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS). It causes approximately 40-70% cell death in most haploid laboratory strains, a level of cell killing that is commonly used in mutant hunts with haploid strains. - [Read Ethyl Methane Sulfonate (EMS) Mutagenesis Protocol]
When more than one bait will be used to screen a single library, significant time and resources can be saved by performing the interactor hunt by interaction mating. In this protocol one strain is transformed with library DNA and the transformants are collected and frozen in aliquots. - [Read Performing a Hunt by Interaction Mating Protocol]
