Single-Step Gene Knockout of the SUC2 Gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: A Laboratory Exercise for Undergraduate Students

This article describes a relatively straightforward procedure to knock out the gene that encodes the invertase enzyme in baker’s yeast. The SUC2 gene, which encodes for the invertase enzyme, is knocked out by a single-step PCR knock out method. The knockout is subsequently confirmed at the genetic...
