A course manual incorporating revised portions of the manuals used for the Cold Springs Harbor Yeast Genetics Course in 1987 and 1990. Techniques and experiments focus on baker's yeast, and illustrate concepts such as mitotic recombination, gene replacement, the formation of zygotes, gene fusion, yeast transformation, RNA isolation, and mapping cloned DNA segments by chromosome. Appendices discuss media, stock preservation, and electrophoretic karyotypes of strains for Southern Blot mapping. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
