Growth and storage of YAC clones in Hogness Freezing Medium.

To date, frozen storage of YAC libraries have relied on the administration of glycerol to the medium subsequent to cell growth. By adding Hogness Freezing Medium prior to inoculation, cultures can be frozen directly after cell growth, with no adverse effect on the stability of the YAC DNA or on the viability of the cells even after repeated freezing and defrosting. Although a relatively simple ...

David Smyth is a plant developmental geneticist. He began his independent career at Monash University in Melbourne in 1974, where he investigated the basis of the very large genomes of the true lilies (Lilium species) when DNA cloning methods became available. Two abundant dispersed elements turned out to be retrotransposons, revealing their important role in bulking up some plant genomes. In 1...
