  • Publication number: 20050202453
    Abstract: Plasmid DNA from single yeast colonies was efficiently amplified using rolling circle amplification (RCA). The amplified DNA was directly used for restriction digestion, DNA sequencing, and yeast transformation. The RCA of plasmid DNA from single yeast colonies for direct retransformation of yeast simplifies conventional procedures for yeast two-hybrid analysis and is suitable for high-throughput analyses. In summary, we have developed several methods to manipulate plasmid DNA in yeast. It will greatly simplify a number of yeast-based molecular biology tools, particularly yeast two-hybrid analysis. The methods are very useful for high-throughput assays.

  • Publication number: 20050064637
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an N-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (NMOS) transistor with a P-type gate is provided. A substrate is provided and then a gate dielectric layer is formed over the substrate. An indium doped polysilicon layer is formed over the gate dielectric layer in an in-situ deposition process. The indium doped polysilicon layer and the gate dielectric layer are patterned to form a gate structure. An N-doped source/drain region is formed in the substrate beside the gate structure to form the P-type gate NMOS transistor. Since the indium doped polysilicon layer is formed in an in-situ deposition process instead of boron implantation, lattice defects in the gate are minimized the problem of penetration for boron ions is solved.
