Detection of 881→881 Mutation in Tyrosinase Gene and Associations with the Black Ear Coat Color in Rabbits
نویسندگان
چکیده
The tyrosinase gene was selected as a candidate for uncovering genetic mechanism causing “black ear” coat color in rabbits. A PCR-SSCP detection method was established for the 881→881 mutation located in the central region of the tyrosinase gene between the CuA and CuB binding region signatures, and this was confirmed by sequencing and alignment. Fully consistent associations between the SNP and “black ear” coat color were observed by analysis in a “black ear” pedigree and on 61 unrelated individuals. This SNP can serve as a molecular marker for use in “back ear” wool rabbit breeding. (Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2002. Vol 15, No. 10 : 1395-1397)

Incidence of Mutation for Silver Coat Color in Black Forest Horses
Black Forest horses are typically chestnut colored with flaxen mane and tail. However, as their coat color can get very dark, they are sometimes also indicated as silver, a color depending on a black base color. To analyse if the silver allele is present in the Black Forest horse population, we genotyped 250 horses of this breed for formerly reported coat color mutations within MC1R and SILV. A...

The broad goal of this research was to examine the nature of the Melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) locus on the coat color phenotype of seven goat breeds with different color coat. Blood samples were collected from five Iranian indigenous (Khalkhal, Markhor, Naeini, Najdi and Tali) and two exotic (Cashmere and Saanen) goat breeds. Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism ...
متن کاملGenetic variations associated with six-white-point coat pigmentation in Diannan small-ear pigs
A common phenotypic difference among domestic animals is variation in coat color. Six-white-point is a pigmentation pattern observed in varying pig breeds, which seems to have evolved through several different mechanistic pathways. Herein, we re-sequenced whole genomes of 31 Diannan small-ear pigs from China and found that the six-white-point coat color in Diannan small-ear pigs is likely regul...
متن کاملTwo-Exon Skipping within MLPH Is Associated with Coat Color Dilution in Rabbits
Coat color dilution turns black coat color to blue and red color to cream and is a characteristic in many mammalian species. Matings among Netherland Dwarf, Loh, and Lionhead Dwarf rabbits over two generations gave evidence for a monogenic autosomal recessive inheritance of coat colour dilution. Histological analyses showed non-uniformly distributed, large, agglomerating melanin granules in the...
