Chromosome spread from cells grown to mid-log phase in YPAD were prepared and labeled with the monoclonal antibody S9.6 and immunodetected with Cy3- conjugated goat anti-mouse antibody (Jackson Laboratories, #115-165-003 as described [79 (link)]). Slides were mounted with 50 μl of VectaShield (Vector Laboratories, CA) with 1x DAPI and sealed with nail polish. For each replicate (n>3), between 150 and 250 nuclei were visualized and manually counted to obtain the fraction with detectable RNA-DNA hybrids.
