Next came the fun part! We followed the beetle transfer protocol (see 'protocols'), transferring the beetle to the yeast plates, followed by placing them on a clean plate. After growing the plates (there was a lot of contamination), we analyzed the resultant yeast colonies to check for GFP and clonat resistance.]] | Next came the fun part!
