| Week 1: | Isolate plasmids from E. coli. |
| Week 2: | Digest the plasmids with restriction endonucleases; transform yeast cells with the plasmid DNA. |
| Week 3: | Analyze restriction digests by gel electrophoresis; set up Southern blots; plate transformants on appropriate media. |
| Week 4: | Complete Southern blots; class discussion/data analysis (Southern blots, restriction maps, phenotypic analysis of yeast transformants). |
