Perfect for CTE agriculture or veterinary science courses, this test can determine the number of copies of the recessive white allele in chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus). Sample collection is easy—DNA is extracted from blood (e.g., ex-ovo blood draw). Result interpretation is clear. This test can determine whether a chicken is heterozygous or homozygous for the recessive white allele. Sufficient materials for 38 tests.

See how many copies of the recessive white allele your chicken is carrying!
Perfect for CTE agriculture or veterinary science courses, the Recessive White Chicken DNA Test is an in-house DNA test to determine the number of copies of the recessive white allele in chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus). Sample collection is easy—DNA is extracted from blood (e.g., ex-ovo blood draw). Result interpretation is clear: 1 lower band indicates the presence of 2 copies of the recessive white allele (C*C/C*C); 2 bands indicate the presence of only 1 copy of the recessive white allele (C*C/C*N); and the presence of only the upper band indicates the absence of the recessive white allele (C*N/C*N). Therefore, this test can determine whether a chicken is heterozygous or homozygous for the recessive white allele.
