Synthetic Genetic Array analysis is generally conducted using colony arrays on petriplates at standard densities (96, 384, 768, 1536). To perform a SGA analysis in ''S.cerevisae'', the query gene is crossed systematically with a deletion mutant array (DMA) containing every viable knockout [[Open reading frame|ORF]] of the yeast genome (currently 4786 strains)<ref>http://www.openbiosystems.com/GeneExpression/Yeast/YKO/ </ref>. The resulting [[diploids]] are then sporulated by transferring to a media containing reduced nitrogen. The [[haploid]] progeny are then put through a series of selection platings and incubations to select for double mutants. The double mutants are screened for SSL interactions visually or using imaging software by assessing the size of the resulting colonies.
