a-Factor Mating Pheromone Chemicals DNA/RNA Shield Fecal Collection tubes

DNA/RNA Shield Fecal Collection tubes are designed for the collection and preservation of nucleic acids from stool specimens

The a/alpha diploids are not responsive to mating pheromone of either type

Fits into 6-in platform attachment (not included

thermal-stable DNA polymerase reduces primer dimer and non-specific product formation that can occur when performing conventional PCR

Used for eluting and storing bisulfite converted DNA in the EZ DNA Methylation

a-Factor Mating Pheromone Chemicals DNA/RNA Shield Fecal Collection tubesWhen yeast "a" and "alpha" cells encounter mating pheromones of the opposite cell type they induce genes necessary for mating, arrest the cell cycle in G1, alter cell surface and nuclear determinants, and also undergo dramatic morphological elongation into pear shapes, affectionately termed "schmooing". These alterations prepare the yeast cells for mating and fusion to form stable diploids. The a alpha diploids are not responsive to mating pheromone
