The completion of the DNA sequence of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae resulted in the identification of a large number of genes. However, the function of most of these genes is not known. One of the best ways to determine gene function is to carry out mutational and phenotypic analysis. I
A new __Arabidopsis thaliana__ (ecotype Columbia) genomic library has been constructed in Yeast Artificial Chromosomes: the CIC library (for CEPH, INRA and CNRS). Optimization of plant culture conditions and protoplast preparation allowed the recovery of large amounts of viable protoplasts. Mechanic
