A custom whole-genome SNP array (57 (link)) and a chromosome IV-specific SNP array (23 (link)) were used for LOH analysis of yeast isolates treated with furfural. Genomic DNA extraction from yeast cells and DNA fragmentation (with an average size of about 400 bp) were performed according to a protocol described previously (57 (link)). Genomic DNA from the furfural-treated cells was labeled with Cy5-dUTP, and control DNA (from the cells of fully heterozygous strain JSC24-2 [23 (link)]) was labeled with Cy3-dUTP. Competitive hybridization of the two DNA samples was performed on the SNP microarrays at 62°C, and the ratio of hybridization of the two differentially labeled samples was analyzed as described previously (57 (link)).
