Designer deletion strains derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C: A useful set of strains and plasmids for PCR‐mediated gene disruption and other applications
- Carrie Baker Brachmann, A. Davies, +4 authors J. Boeke
- Biology, Medicine
- Yeast
- 30 January 1998
A set of yeast strains based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C in which commonly used selectable marker genes are deleted by design based on the yeast genome sequence has been constructed and… Expand
Functional characterization of the S. cerevisiae genome by gene deletion and parallel analysis.
- E. Winzeler, D. Shoemaker, +49 authors R. Davis
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 6 August 1999
The functions of many open reading frames (ORFs) identified in genome-sequencing projects are unknown. New, whole-genome approaches are required to systematically determine their function. A total of… Expand
Functional profiling of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome
- G. Giaever, A. Chu, +70 authors M. Johnston
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 25 July 2002
Determining the effect of gene deletion is a fundamental approach to understanding gene function. Conventional genetic screens exhibit biases, and genes contributing to a phenotype are often missed.… Expand
Human L1 Retrotransposon Encodes a Conserved Endonuclease Required for Retrotransposition
- Q. Feng, J. V. Moran, H. Kazazian, J. Boeke
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 29 November 1996
Human L1 elements are highly abundant poly(A) (non-LTR) retrotransposons whose second open reading frame (ORF2) encodes a reverse transcriptase (RT). We have identified an endonuclease (EN) domain at… Expand
High Frequency Retrotransposition in Cultured Mammalian Cells
- J. V. Moran, S. Holmes, T. Naas, R. DeBerardinis, J. Boeke, H. Kazazian
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 29 November 1996
We previously isolated two human L1 elements (L1.2 and LRE2) as the progenitors of disease-producing insertions. Here, we show these elements can actively retrotranspose in cultured mammalian cells.… Expand
Transposable elements and genome organization: a comprehensive survey of retrotransposons revealed by the complete Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome sequence.
- J. Kim, S. Vanguri, J. Boeke, A. Gabriel, D. Voytas
- Biology, Medicine
- Genome research
- 1 May 1998
We conducted a genome-wide survey of Saccharomyces cerevisiae retrotransposons and identified a total of 331 insertions, including 217 Ty1, 34 Ty2, 41 Ty3, 32 Ty4, and 7 Ty5 elements. Eighty-five… Expand
5-Fluoroorotic acid as a selective agent in yeast molecular genetics.
- J. Boeke, J. Trueheart, G. Natsoulis, G. Fink
- Biology, Medicine
- Methods in enzymology
- 1987
5-FOA is an extremely useful reagent for the selection of Ura- cells amid a population of Ura+ cells. The selection is effective in transformation and recombination studies where loss of URA3+ is… Expand
A positive selection for mutants lacking orotidine-5′-phosphate decarboxylase activity in yeast: 5-fluoro-orotic acid resistance
SummaryMutations at the URA3 locus of Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be obtained by a positive selection. Wild-type strains of yeast (or ura3 mutant strains containing a plasmid-borne URA3+ gene) are… Expand
An unusual form of transcriptional silencing in yeast ribosomal DNA.
Generalized transcriptional repression of large chromosomal regions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae occurs at the silent mating loci and at telomeres and is mediated by the silent information regulator… Expand
Sir2-Dependent Activation of Acetyl-CoA Synthetase by Deacetylation of Active Lysine
- V. J. Starai, I. Čelić, R. Cole, J. Boeke, J. Escalante-Semerena
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 20 December 2002
Acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase (Acs) is an enzyme central to metabolism in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Acs synthesizes acetyl CoA from acetate, adenosine triphosphate, and CoA through an… Expand
