Protocol: Fast yeast transformation

 * 1) Add 50 &micro;l carrier DNA to a 1.5 ml tube.
 * 2) scrap cells from plate and add to the carrier DNA. (3 or 4 average colonies at least)
 * 3) Add in the following order:
 * 4) 1-2 &micro;l DNA-plasmid (up to 30-50 &micro;l)
 * 5) 240 &micro;l PEG (50%)
 * 6) 36 &micro;l Li-Ac (1M)
 * 7) resuspend with blue tip
 * 8) incubate at 30°C or RT at least 30 min
 * 9) heat shock: 45°C, 15 min (or 42°C for 20 min)
 * 10) spin down, resuspend in 100μl H2O and plate everything on corresponding medium
