The Frizzle Chicken DNA Test is an on-farm DNA test for determining the presence of the Frizzle allele (F) in chickens (mutation on KRT75 gene). No need to ship samples to a lab, obtain results in hours!
Sample collection is easy: DNA is extracted from blood (e.g., ex-ovo blood draw) and feathers. Result interpretation is clear: two bands indicate the presence of only one copy of the Frizzle allele (+/F), while the presence of only the upper band indicates the absence of the Frizzle allele (+/+).
This is a gelPCRTM test, based on PCR and DNA gel electrophoresis. For more information on gelPCRTM tests click here.
One kit of Frizzle Chicken DNA Test provides enough material for testing 32 birds and 6 controls (38 reactions in total). The kit includes reagents and PCR tubes. Equipment is sold separately.
The kit has been validated only using Gallus gallus domesticus samples on miniPCR® equipment. This kit does not identify the KRT75L4 mutation that causes frizzle feathers in Kirin chicken.
