How to archive strains?

E. coli:

• transformation
• quick extract for protein analysis
• plasmid miniprep
• purification of his-tagged proteins

Yeast:

• transformation
• KanMX disruption with PCR
• chromosomal DNA preparation (Cao/Lichten)
• plasmid retrieval
• galactose induction and protein extract
• mating, sporulation and tetrad analysis
• IR irradiation
• spotting assay for growth

DNA/RNA:

• plasmid restriction and agarose gel
• polyacrylamide gel
• ligation (sticky ends, blunt ends)
• kinase treatment
• DNA extraction with CTAB
• crosslinking with psoralen (DNA prep, new X-linking protocol, reversal)
• CHEF gels (agarose plugs, running)
• 2d gel
• southern blot
• PCR
• ethanol precipitation
• phenol extraction

Protein:

• SDS-PAGE and coomassie staining
• western blot
• immunoprecipitation (IP)
• GST pulldown
• ATPase assay
• DNA strand exchange assay
• antibody production
• kinase assay
• nucleoprotein gel assay
• boiling dialysis tubes
• TCA precipitation
