MOLECULAR & CELLULAR BIOLOGY OF S. POMBE & OTHER YEASTS
November 6 - 19, 1996
Program:
Fission yeast is often chosen as a model system for studies of cell and molecular biology. This course is designed to introduce the basic genetic, molecular and cell biological techniques necessary for an investigator to adapt this system to their own laboratory/project. Topics include formal genetics and tetrad dissection, cytology including fluorescent and immunological techniques, transformation and gene replacement, plasmid recovery and cell fractionation. Many of the experiments will exploit mutant strains affected in cell cycle or cytoskeleton. Against this background it is planned to introduce several other yeast systems of industrial or pathological interest. The Pichia system will be used for protein expression, Yarrowia for cell fractionation studies and Candida for hyphal transformation. In addition to the laboratory component, invited speakers will address various aspects of the biology of these systems.
