Yeast Two-hybrid (Y2H) Screening

Yeast Two-hybrid (Y2H) Screening.png

​Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) screening is a mature technique to discover novel protein interactions and maps the precise binding regions between two proteins. Our service includes:

  1. Cloning: Subclone gene of interest into Y2H vector and transform into yeast.

  2. Testing for “bait” auto-activation.

  3. Screening: Perform large scale (pre-made or custom-made) library screen.

  4. Screening: Phenotypic analysis (up to 4 reporter genes are used).

  5. Screening: Recover plasmids from yeast and transform into E.coli.

  6. Screening: Determine identity of “prey” by sequencing.

  7. Validation: Retransform yeast with recovered plasmids to verify interactions.

All enquiries are welcome to Chi-Ming Wong (wispwong@gmail.com)
