An Overview on Selection Marker Genes for Transformation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Book chapter, 2022

For genetic manipulation of yeast, numerous selection marker genes have been employed. These include prototrophic markers, markers conferring drug resistance, autoselection markers, and counterselectable markers. This chapter describes the different classes of selection markers and provides a number of examples for different applications.

Autoselection

Drug resistance

Marker loop-out

Counterselection

Auxotrophy
