Cells were grown at 30°C in EMM [ 22] supplemented with uracil and leucine (150 mg each per liter) when not under selection or leucine (150 mg per liter) when under selection for uracil prototrophy.
SC medium is 1.7 g/l yeast nitrogen base without amino acids and ammonium sulfate, 5 g/l ammonium sulfate, 20 g/l glucose, 20 mg/l uracil, 20 mg/l adenine, 80 mg/l L-leucine, 20 mg/l L-histidine, 40 mg/l L-tryptophan, 20 mg/l L-methionine, and 30 mg/l L-lysine.
Finally, earlier studies have noted that methylation of cytosines (generating MeC) in ribopolynucleotides stabilizes duplexes to the same extent as substitution of thymine (MeU) for uracil [ 28 ] . Thus, although it is still surprising that MeC and MeU decrease hybridization intensities, it is not surprising that the magnitude of the effects generated by MeC and MeU residues are similar.
