Turning Genes On and Off
Product Code : JA-GAIE-6898
Turning Genes On and Off (SKU JA-GAIE-6898) is a gene expression investigation kit in which students use a commonly found microbe to predict and test how temperature affects gene regulation and expression. When the gene is expressed the bacteria produce a pigment that turns the colonies red, giving a clear visual result. Further investigations let students design their own experiments on other variables. It is supplied by JaincoLab for senior secondary and B.Sc biology.
Specifications
The kit is an investigation of temperature and gene expression using a microbe whose colonies turn red when the pigment gene is expressed; the organism, contents and class size are confirmed on the quotation.
