• Bgal plate overlay assay (Herskowitz Lab)
  This assay is semiquantitative. Cells can even be recovered from underneath the overlaid agar. The method could be used for any enzyme with a colorimetric assay.
    

• Bgal liquid assay (Herskowitz Lab)
    

• Pheromone Halo Assay (Dohlman Lab)
  This is a bio-assay that measures the responsiveness of cells to a factor pheromone. The assay is easy to conduct and the results are usually unambiguous and highly reproducible.
    

• Liquid ?-gal Assays  (Dohlman Lab)
  This protocol is used to quantitatively measure the pheromone response over a range of pheromone concentrations.
     

• ?-gal Lift Protocol (Dohlman Lab) 
  This method is used to screen for and examine mutants with altered pheromone responses.

• mTn-3xHA/GFP insertion library

Yeast Gene Mutagenesis 

• Protocols for shuttle mutagenesis/epitope-tagging of a yeast gene with mTn-lacZ/LEU2(Yale Yeast Analysis Center)
  mTn-lacZ/leu2 can easily be inserted at mutiple sites in a given gene. The mutagenized DNA is then transformed into yeast, where it replaces the chromosomal locus by homologous recombination. The transposon insertions create a pool of insertion/disruption alleles. Insertions that generate in-frame fusion of the coding region to lacZ can be used to monitor and quantify gene expression, via assays for beta-gal activity. The fusion protein can also be immunodetected using antibodies directed against beta-gal.
