Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE34085: Karyotype analysis of radicicol-resistant yeast colonies by array CGH (Radr1,2,3) GSE34086: Genome structure of radicicol-induced aneuploids in yeast by array CGH Refer to individual Series
Project description:Aneuploidy, a state of having uneven numbers of chromosomes, is a form of large-effect mutation able to confer adaptive phenotypes under diverse stress conditions. Here we investigate whether pleiotropic stresses could in turn induce aneuploidy in budding yeast. Cells exposed to radicicol, an Hsp90 inhibitor, exhibit chromosomal instability. To assess the karyotype of cells with an acquired resistance to radicicol, array CGH was used to compare three stably resistant yeast colonies to a WT strain.
Project description:Aneuploidy, a state of having uneven numbers of chromosomes, is a form of large-effect mutation able to confer adaptive phenotypes under diverse stress conditions. Here we investigate whether pleiotropic stresses could in turn induce aneuploidy in budding yeast. Radicicol was shown to induce high level missegregation of an artificial chromosome (CF). This experiment examines possible aneuploidy of other (“natural”) chromosomes induced by radicicol. Red colonies (lost CF) were first screened by FACS. Possible aneuploids were then subjected to hybridization, with WT as the control.

To assess the karyotype of cells with an acquired resistance to radicicol, array CGH was used to compare three stably resistant yeast colonies to a WT strain. Single replicates of DNA prepared from radicicol-resistant yeast colonies are compared to a control WT colony.
Project description:We developed an artificial genome evolution system, which we termed ‘TAQing’, by introducing multiple genomic DNA double-strand breaks using a heat-activatable endonuclease in mitotic yeast. The heat-activated endonuclease, TaqI, induced random DSBs, which resulted in diverse types of chromosomal rearrangements including translocations. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis was performed with cell-fused Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains induced genome evolution by TAQing system. Some of copy number variations (CNVs) induced by massive genome rearrangements were detected in the TAQed yeast strains.
Project description:The polyploid S. cerevisiae karyotypes were analyzed by array-CGH to identify the deletion or duplication of gene or chromosome during the strain construction and after experimental evolution.
