Hey yeast researchers,
Do you use frozen competent yeast cells for PCR-mediated integrations? What protocol do you use?
I'm thinking that this might save my lab a lot of time if they work reliably.

Whoa!!! Some batches of agar are toxic to fission yesst!!

Sustainability tip for yeast labs:
when replica plating you can combine two different dissection plates into one replica plate. This will reduce the number of plates you use by almost ½.
Here’s how it works.As you know, a normal dissection takes up an entire plate, and then to genotype you need to replica plate to many (5) different plates—each reporting on a different marker.
To me, that’s a lot of plates.

Does anyone in the US have the pOM plasmid set for N-terminal tagging in yeast made by Robert Gauss and Anne Spang? The last time I got strains from Anne they got hung up in customs for weeks and I'd like to get started soon!!
Any plasmid set for markerless N-terminal tagging would do.
