Yeast Genetics & Genomics

Course - Cold Spring Harbor, NY, United States

The Yeast Genetics & Genomics course is a modern, state of the art laboratory course designed to teach the students the full repertoire of genetic approaches needed to dissect complex problems in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Combinations of classical and modern genetic approaches are emphasized, including the isolation and characterization of mutants, tetrad analysis, complementation, and mitotic recombination as well as array, next generation sequencing, and genome-based methods of analysis facilitated by the yeast genome, the deletion collection, and other genomic resources available to the community. Molecular genetic techniques, including yeast transformation, gene replacement by PCR, construction and analysis of gene fusions, and generation of mutations, will also be emphasized. Students will use classical approaches and modern whole genome sequencing to gain experience in identifying and interpreting various kinds of genetic interactions including suppression and synthetic lethality (including SGA). Students will be immersed in yeast genomics and will perform and interpret experiments to using DNA arrays and multiplex sequencing.
