Lithium Acetate Yeast DNA Uptake

Description

Yeast DNA uptake uses transformation to move foreign DNA into Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. S. cerevisiae is a unicellular eukaryote and a common model organism in biological research. Scientists use this method to control gene expression, make genetic deletions, express recombinant proteins, and label subcellular structur...

Transcript

Yeast or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a widespread simple eukaryotic model organism used in the study of genetics and cell biology that can give insights into human cellular processes. This video discusses transformation - the uptake of foreign DNA by the yeast cell. It will introduce yeast plasmids, how to prepare y...
