Rather Rapid Genomic Prep

 * 1) Grow 5 ml yeast cultures to saturation.
 * 2) Collect cells by centrifugation and resuspend in 0.5 ml of water. Transfer cells to 1.5 ml microfuge tube and collect by a 5 second spin.
 * 3) Pour off supernatant and briefly vortex to resuspend cells in residual liquid.
 * 4) Add 0.2 ml of Buffer A (2% Triton X-100, 1% SDS, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA pH 8.0), 200 µl glass beads, and 0.2 ml phenol:chloroform:isoamyl alcohol (25:24:1).
 * 5) Vortex 3 minutes (setting #7 on a foam multi-tube vortex adaptor). Add 0.2 ml TE.
 * 6) Spin 5 minutes. Transfer aqueous to new tube. OPTIONAL: Do a chloroform extraction.
 * 7) Add 1 ml 100% EtOH (RT; cold EtOH will create a large, dirty pellet), invert tube to mix, and spin 2 minutes.
 * 8) Discard supernatant, and resuspend pellet in 0.4 ml TE (no need to dry pellet).
 * 9) Add 10 µl 4M ammonium acetate, mix, and then add 1 ml 100% EtOH and mix.
 * 10) Spin for 2 minutes and dry pellet. Resuspend in 50 µl TE and use 10 µl per digest.
