Abstract excerpt
An essential gene is defined as a gene that cannot be completely removed from the genome. Investigation of an essential gene function is limited because its deletion strain cannot be readily created. Here we describe a protocol called plasmid shuffling that can be conveniently employed in yeast to study essential gene functions. The essential gene is first cloned into a YCp-based plasmid with URA3 as a selectable...
