This table describes some commonly used auxotrophic markers (along with some novel useful markers); it was obtained from Brachmann et al. (1998) "Designer deletion strains derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C: a useful set of strains and plasmids for PCR-mediated gene disruption and other applications." Yeast 14:115-132.

Rodney Rothstein, Personal communication to SGD. ade2-101 no yes ochre mutation, red colonies G to T transversion at nucleotide 190, changing amino acid 64 from a Glu to a Stop Gai and Voytas, 2005 ade2-BglII no no red colonies frameshift (BglII site filled in at position 592) Engebrecht and Roeder 1990 can1-100 no yes ochre mutation AAA-to-TAA ochre nonsense change at codon 47 Rodney Rothstein, Personal communication to SGD. his3delta200 yes no Cold sensitive; high frequency of petite formation, especially during transformation. Note that this deletion damages the PET56 promoter. See Zhang et al., (2003) for a discussion of this issue. 1 kb deletion, (-205 to 835) Struhl 1985; Fasullo and Davis 1988; Siram et al.

Brian Green and Joachim Li, unpublished results ura3-52 no no - Ty1 insertion (transcribing left to right) at pos. 121 Rose and Winston 1984 ura3-1 no yes - G to A transition at residue 701 of the coding sequence, changing residue 234 from glycine to glutamate Yan Li, Glenn Manthey, and Adam Bailis, unpublished results The following new alleles listed below are described in Brachmann et al. 1998 ade2delta::hisG no no - - (Aparicio et al. 1991) leu2delta0 yes no designer deletion - Brachmann et al. 1998 lys2delta0 yes no designer deletion - Brachmann et al. 1998 met15delta0 yes no designer deletion - Brachmann et al. 1998 ura3delta0 yes no designer deletion - Brachmann et al. 1998 aThe sequence coordinates are relative to the first ATG of the selectable marker ORF, in which the A residue is defined as +1.

bAll trp- strains are cold sensitive (Singh and Manney 1974).
