for inducible overexpression of yeast ORFs
The Andrews lab at the University of Toronto has developed a collection of more than 5000 yeast strains that each overexpresses a different yeast open reading frame (ORF) when induced with galactose. More than 80% of the S. cerevisiae genome is represented. ORFs are plasmid-encoded, tagged at the N-terminus with GST, and expressed under control of the GAL1/10 promoter (Zhu et al, 2001). This collection is in a BY4741 (MATa) background and has been used for genome-scale overexpression screening (Sopko et al, 2006).|

| Open Biosystems partners with leading academic laboratories to make clone resources that they develop available at a reasonable price. Many of these resources address the needs of specialized research communities not served by other vendors. To make this possible, we distribute these resources “as is” and without independently verifying the accuracy of data or performing QC. While errors by our source laboratories are generally infrequent, they inevitably occur and are not the responsibility of Open Biosystems. Click here for more information about Open Labs Products. |
Shipping Information:
Yeast strains are shipped in CM broth with glucose –uracil (Teknova cat # C7141) with 15% glycerol (added after growth of strains). Individual strains are shipped in 2-ml tubes at room temperature; the entire collection is shipped in 96-well plates on dry ice. All strains should be stored at –80°C.
