Saccharomyces cerevisiae enter quiescence during extended growth in culture (greater than 7 days). Here, we describe a method to separate quiescent from non-quiescent cells by density gradient. We also describe approaches for DAPI staining the chromatin of quiescent cells, measuring quiescent cell viability, and extracting RNA from quiescent cells for use in genomics experiments.
