Yeast Genetic Research

We are developing the Yeast Genetic Research Resource Center (YGRRC), funded by NIH, to support yeast-based teaching, research, and development. The YGRRC presently manages approximately 25,000 genetically defined yeast strains, 400 yeast vectors, 2000 yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs), and 20 yeast genomic and cDNA libraries. ATCC is actively accessioning new yeast strains and DNA materials that reflect current research frontiers to further enhance the YGRRC.

  • Information about the yeast deletion strains in the Saccharomyces Genome Deletion Project collection and how to search for them.
  • The Yeast Genetic Stock Center (YGSC) contains genetically defined yeasts from the historic collection of Dr. Robert Mortimer.
  • YGSC strain application and description catalog (394KB/.pdf)
  • The general Filamentous Fungi and Yeast collection contains over 7,000 species of fungi and includes 2,000 genetic strains of yeast.
  • Yeast vectors, DNA libraries, and yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) are found in the Molecular Biology collection.
  • Contact us by e-mail if you have questions or suggestions regarding the YGRRC.
