title: A multisite integrative cassette for the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: We have developed a cassette for the integration of cloned DNA sequences at multiple sites in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome, taking advantage of the naturally repeated sigma sequences. This cassette contains one engineered sigma element which allows the targeting of an embedded gene at different genomic sigma elements by gene replacement. Two yeast genes, ARG4 and URA3, were thus integrated in the absence of any bacterial sequences, individually or sequentially on twelve chromosomes. Consequently, these studies led to the genetical tagging of individual members of the sigma family.
