A simple procedure for isolating yeast DNA suitable for use as a template for PCR amplification is described. SDS treatment alone is sufficient for extraction of chromosomal DNA from yeast cells. Cells of a yeast colony are suspended in a small volume (about 20 microL) of a 0.25% SDS solution, mixed vigorously and centrifuged. The supernatant can be directly used as a template after dilution to give an SDS concentration of less than 0.01% in the final PCR mixture.

D015825	Chromosomes, Fungal	Structures within the nucleus of fungal cells consisting of or containing DNA, which carry genetic information essential to the cell.	Chromosome, Fungal,Fungal Chromosome,Fungal Chromosomes
D016133	Polymerase Chain Reaction	In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
