Yeast as a model organism
• Model eukaryote
– Experimental genetics
– Gene function – Orthologs, family members
– Pathway function - “Biological synteny”
• Testbed for genomic technologies
– Genome sequenced (4/96)
relatively less complex
– Ability to assess biological relevance of the
data

Genomics technology development
Yeast as a testbed
• Gene expression patterns
– DNA microarrays, SAGE
• Genomic DNA scans
– Mapping complex traits (SNPs)
• Phenotype screening
– Genome-wide knockouts
• Genetic interaction networks
– Synthetic lethals
• Protein interaction networks
– Two-hybrid, mass spectrometry

Each gene is probed by multiple oligonucleotide probes (>19).
A control probe is synthesized adjacent to each actual probe
~120,000 different oligonucleotide sequences for the entire genome.
Entire yeast genome is on 5 arrays (~ 65,000 25 mers on each).

YJM789
Laboratory strain
YJM789 parent
• Isolated from the lung of an AIDS
patient.
• Able to grow at 42 °C, form
pseudohyphae and undergo colonymorphology switching.
• Hypersensitive to cycloheximide.
• Polymorphic
– one difference every 150 bases
relative to sequenced strain
Allelic variation between two strains can be detected using arrays.

Yeast Array
missing signals = markers
Since probe locations are known, a genetic map can be constructed:
interesting loci (virulence) can be mapped and positionally cloned for study.
Allelic variation in YJM789
• 3808 markers detected by automated
analysis of scanned images.
– Largest gap = 56 kb
– Average frequency = 3000 bases (1.0 cM)
• More markers identified in one
hybridization than in the past 40 years of
yeast genetics.
Verification of markers by tetrad analysis
Expect 90 cross-overs per genome.
 Expect clear recombination breakpoints
 Expect most markers to segregate 2:2.

Markers segregate as expected
96 crossovers
(90 expected).
96% of markers
segregate 2:2.
Clear breakpoints
observed.

Inheritance of markers in 10 lys2
segregants
Results of mapping five phenotypic
loci in 10 segregants.
• Five regions identified that were inherited
solely from one parent.
• Four encompassed known locations of MAT,
LYS5, LYS2, and HO.
• Minimum intervals ranged from 12 to 90 kb.
Cycloheximide sensitivity = pdr5
• Cycloheximide sensitivity maps to remaining 56 kb
interval on Chromosome XV adjacent to pdr5.
• PDR5 is deleted in YJM789.
• Wildtype strain, deleted for pdr5 is unable to
complement YJM789.
Mapping Complex Traits:
Feasibility Summary
• Identified 3808 genetic markers.
• Demonstrated that traits can be mapped
using these markers.
• Next step: Map virulence loci.
Virulence in YJM789
• Virulence is a multigenic trait with 5 loci
contributing.
– Only 5 of 200 segregants from crosses between
YJM789 and laboratory strain are virulent.
• Genes cannot be cloned by complementation.
• Hybridization with arrays is an appropriate way to
map all contributing loci simultaneously.
Assigning Function through
Mutational Analysis
• Inactivate gene product (delete gene).
• Grow mutant strain under different selective
or stress conditions.
• Identify mutants with growth defects.
• Function of gene product may be revealed.
– UV sensitivity = DNA repair protein
– Adenine auxotrophy = Adenine biosynthesis

Genomic profiling of drug sensitivities
via “induced haploinsufficiency”
Decreased gene dosage from two copies to one copy in
heterozygous strains results in increased sensitivity, or
drug- induced haploinsufficiency
Strains that are heterozygous for drug target are
haploinsufficient
