Lomauro1, Fredy W. Miguez1, Prianka Chohan1, Charmi Jariwala1, James T. Arnone1 1Department of Biology, William Paterson University Here is a protocol to identify genetic interactions through an increased copy number suppressor screen in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This method allows researchers to identify, clone, and test suppressors in short-lived yeast mutants. We test the effect of the copy number increase of SIR2 on lifespan in an autophagy null mutant.
