With the availability of the complete yeast genomic sequence, techniqu
es which allow the rapid functional analysis of genes of interest are
of increasing importance. Here we report a technique which allows the
initial characterisation of genes of interest, through the constructio
n of conditionally expressed mutations for functional analyses and the
generation of epitope-tagged fusion proteins for immuno-localisation
and immuno-purification, entirely by PCR.
