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

Used for preparing cross-linked cell pellets for chromatin immunoprecipitation in the Zymo-Spin ChIP Kit

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

The MonoLyser™ system is a sample lysis

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

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
