Yeast Protocols intends to offer a selection of well-proven proto- cols in cell and molecular biology, applicable to yeasts including, but certainly not exclusively aimed at, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its very distant cousin, Schizosacc- romyces pombe, are of course now foremost model eukaryotic organisms, and the focus of wide-ranging experimental studies, especially those using molecular genetic techniques. Many of the lat- ter, such as DNA sequencing and in vitro mutagenesis, are general DNA techniques, well covered in other volumes of Humana's Meth- ods in Molecular Biology series, and elsewhere. The inclusion of a number of non-DNA techniques in this book is meant to reflect the resurgent interest in yeast cell biology sparked by the development of gene manipulation methods-for example, cellular localization of cloned gene products using microscopical techniques. The presentation of protocols follows the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, with a clear sequence of steps and extensive troubleshooting notes. It is our hope that these protocols will be useful not only to established members of the full-time research community, but also to the less experienced-first degree level and masters students undertaking project work, as well as PhD students starting their experimental programs; I am well aware that these young apprentice scientists are not always able to receive the supervision time that they, and indeed their supervisors, would like.
