Yeast Knock Out Collection


 

In 1996 Scerevisiae became the first eukaryotic genome to be fully sequenced enabling the creation of the first molecular-barcoded, genome-wide yeast knockout collection (1, 2).  The collection includes over 20,000 deletion strains corresponding to 5,916 genes (including 1,159 essential genes).  
Each strain has a complete start-codon to stop-codon deletion of an open reading frame (ORF) that is flanked by two molecular barcodes.  This collection has been used successfully in a number of screens and has been cited over 590 times (3).

Advantages of the collection include:

  • Molecular barcodes allow high throughput parallel screening of entire genome
  • Complete deletions that ensure no residual gene function
  • Homozygous and heterozygous formats ready for screening
  • Haploid collections can be crossed to cell based assay strains to expand screening options
