  • Total number of colonies found on different spreads of the same transformation mixture per 5 μg of vector.

  • Number of correct phenotype: Ade+ Ura(A); Ade+ Trp (B); and His+Trp (C). Number tested: Number of colonies transferred manually or by replica plating to a plate selecting for the targeted YAC arm; upon loss of the original YAC arm, colonies become Ura (A) or Trp (B and C).

  • 16%–38% of the colonies were red; these were not analyzed further.
