A Method for Gene Disruption That Allows Repeated Use of URA3 Selection in the Construction of Multiply Disrupted Yeast Strains
Abstract
In this paper, we describe a 3.8-kb molecular construct that we have used to disrupt yeast genes. The construct consists of a functional yeast URA3 gene flanked by 1.1-kb direct repeats of a bacterial sequence. It is straightforward to insert the 3.8-kb segment into a cloned target gene of interest and then introduce the resulting disruption into the yeast genome by integrative transformation. An appropriate DNA fragment containing the disruption plus flanking homology can be obtained by restriction enzyme digestion. After introducing such fragments into yeast by transformation, stable integrants can be isolated by selection for Ura+. The important feature of this construct that makes it especially useful is that recombination between the flanking direct repeats occurs at a high frequency (10(-4)) in vegetatively grown cultures. After excision, only one copy of the repeat sequence remains behind. Thus in the resulting strain, the Ura+ selection can be used again, either to disrupt a second gene in similar fashion or for another purpose.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
