Ball Python Ghost/Hypo DNA Test
Identify the Ghost (Hypo) gene in your collection with confidence. This gelPCR™ test detects the recessive allele responsible for the Ghost/Hypo (hypomelanistic) morph in ball pythons, so you can spot heterozygous carriers (het Ghost/Hypo) that look completely normal.
- Detects the recessive Ghost/Hypo (hypomelanism) allele in ball pythons (Python regius)
- DNA is extracted from a tiny piece of shed — no blood draw required
- gelPCR™ method combines PCR with DNA gel electrophoresis; two bands indicate a Ghost/Hypo heterozygote
- Enough material for 32 samples plus 6 controls (38 reactions)
- Includes master mix, Ghost-specific primers, extraction buffer, DNA ladder, controls and PCR tubes; miniPCR® equipment and consumables sold separately
- Store reagents at -20°C; stable for 9 months after arrival
