Yeast Strains
The following yeast strains have been used in numerous research projects, e.g. for yeast two-hybrid screens. Note that many yeast strains come as pairs of haploid a and alpha strains (indicated by MATa or MATα) which can be mated to form diploid strains. Strains are usually characterized by their genetic differences to the sequenced "standard" strain S288C. For instance, strain AH109 has its gal4 gene deleted (indicated by a Greek Δ) and a mutation in its trp gene.
