OMNI YEAST DNA KIT DIRECTIONS
1. Culture yeast in YPD medium to an OD600 of 10.
2. Centrifuge ≤3 mL culture (< 2 x 107) at 4,000 x g for 10 minutes.
3. Aspirate and discard the medium.
4. Resuspend cells in 480 L LD Buffer and 40 L lyticase solution.
Note: β-mercaptoethanol must be added to the LD Buffer before
preparing the lyticase solution. Please refer to the “Preparing Reagents”
section for instructions.
5. Incubate at 30°C for at least 30 minutes.
6. Centrifuge at 500 x g for 10 minutes to pellet the spheroblasts.
7. Carefully aspirate and discard supernatant. Incomplete removal of
supernatant will prevent lysis of spheroblasts in the next step
26-009 - Cell Digestion
8. Resuspend pellet in 200 µL DLB
Buffer. Transfer entire contents to
a clean 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tube
(not provided) and add 25 µL
Protease Solution. Vortex 10 seconds.
9. Incubate at 55°C in a shaking
water bath for 1 hr to completely
lyse the cells.
26-009B - Cell Homogenization
8. Resuspend pellet in 200 µL DLB
Buffer and 10 µL Antifoam reagent
Transfer entire contents to a 2 mL
tube containing 0.5 mm glass
beads. Homogenize cells on a
bead mill at 2.6 - 3.1 m/s for 30-60
seconds or with continuous
vortexing for 10 minutes.
9. Add 25 µL Protease Solution. Vortex
10 seconds. Incubate at 55°C in a
shaking water bath for 30 minutes
to completely lyse the cells.
Note: Increased enzyme incubation times or increased mechanical
dissociation time may be required to fully dissociate cells.
10. Add 5 L RNase A. Invert tube several times to mix.
Let sit a room temperature for 5 minutes.
11. Centrifuge at 10,000 x g for 5 minutes. Carefully aspirate the supernatant
and transfer to a clean microcentrifuge tube.
12. Add 220 L BB Buffer. Vortex for 15 seconds.
Note: A wispy precipitate may form upon addition of BB Buffer; it does not
interfere with DNA recovery.
