Product Details & Documents
Use PCR to genotype your own chickens for the presence of the oocyan allele that causes blue eggs.
Techniques: DNA extraction, PCR, gel electrophoresis
Topics: Agricultural biotechnology, Mendelian genetics, inheritance
Grade level: Advanced high school, college
Time required: Can be completed in two 45-minute periods
Engage your students with a hands-on investigation connecting molecular genetics to modern agriculture. Some chickens lay beautiful blue eggs and to ensure consistent production of this high-value trait, breeders and hatcheries rely on DNA testing for rapid, accurate selection. In this lab, students use PCR to detect the blue egg allele in real samples - an authentic application of biotechnology used in the poultry industry. By genotyping birds, students can distinguish between homozygous and heterozygous individuals, reinforcing key concepts of inheritance while solving real-world challenges in avian science.
Delivery information: This lab kit provides PCR reagents and tubes to test 32 bird samples +6 controls.
