| Books Guthrie & Fink [Volume 194 of Methods of Enzymology] provides a detailed and comprehensive description of protocols and techniques. It covers methods from rescuing mutant alleles to preparing yeast nuclei. For well written reviews of multiple aspects of yeast biology, consult Cold Spring Harbor Press. Selected books and monographs can provide a foundation of knowledge from cell cycle to metabolism. Crash Courses We also highly recommend for the very serious and those who can afford it the Cold Spring Harbor Yeast Course (another link to this course). Another way to be immersed in this study is to attend the Yeast Genetics Meeting or the Cold Spring Harbor Yeast Cell Biology Meeting. An Eclectic List from Ira Ira chose papers that should not require a vast amount of background material so that you can more easily see the questions that have been posed and the genetic strategies used to address the questions. • Different strategies for screening for mutants Chant J; Herskowitz I.Genetic control of bud site selection in yeast by a set of gene products that constitute a morphogenetic pathway.Cell, 1991 Jun 28, 65(7):1203-12.
