Adapted from A. Lorincz (BRL)
Last update 6/29/99
- Pick a medium size yeast colony (~3 mm dia) and transfer to 200 ul of lysis buffer.
- Add an equal volume of glass beads (0.45 mm dia). Mix on vortex at top speed for 1 min.
- Add 200 ul of phenol/CHCl3 (2/1). Extract one time.
- Ethanol precipitate DNA. Wash once with 80% ETOH.
- Dry DNA and resuspend in 100 ul TE and use to transform E. coli (try 1.0 and 0.1 ul DNA).
