title: A simple and rapid method for screening transformant yeast colonies using PCR.
abstract: A simple and rapid procedure for screening transformant yeast colonies is described. In this method, a trace amount of plasmid DNA is isolated from a small amount of yeast cell mass; then, the presence of the exogenous DNA in each yeast colony is detected by PCR amplification.
