Fig. 4From: Systematic approach for assessing whether undeletable chromosomal regions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are required for cell viabilitySequential splitting left and right edge of Chr2-6 replaced transformants. a Two splitting modules (One module synthesized from the plasmid pSJ70 contained CgHIS3 and the other module synthesized from the plasmid p3121 contained CEN4 as a centromere) were introduced into the host strain SJY 576 (Chr2-6 region replaced transformants) to split left edge of CgLEU2. Bottom part of a represents gel electrophoresis of colony PCR and Lane 1 to 10 represents 10 independent transformants were checked to amplify 1 kb band denoting the left edge of CgHIS3 and right edge of CgLEU2. Primers used for colony PCR are illustrated in a. b After splitting left edge of CgLEU2 in Chr2-6 region replaced transformants (SJY 577), we tried to split sequentially the right edge of CgLEU2. 2 splitting modules (One module synthesized from the plasmid pSJ23 contained URA3 and another module synthesized from the plasmid p3121 contain CEN4 as a centromere) were introduced into SJY 577 to split right edge of CgLEU2. Bottom part of b represents gel electrophoresis of colony PCR and 5 independent transformants were checked for amplifying 1.5 kb band denoting the right edge of CgLEU2 and left edge of URA3. Primers used for colony PCR are illustrated in bBack to article page
