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
