The Alpaca Melanocortin 1 Receptor: Gene Mutations, Transcripts, and Relative Levels of Expression in Ventral Skin Biopsies [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2015 The objectives of the present study were to characterize the MC1R gene, its transcripts and the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with coat color in alpaca. Full length cDNA amplification revealed the presence of two transcripts, named as

Effect of Short Tandem Target Mimic miR-5110 on Melanogenesis in Melanocytes of Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular BiologyMicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of melanogenesis and coat color in mammals. Short tandem target mimics (STTMs) have been used to block the functions of small RNA in animals and plants.

Alimentary necrobacillosis in alpacas [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2020 Ulcers of the oral cavity, esophagus, and gastric compartments of South American camelids are uncommon. Multifocal-to-coalescing ulcers were identified in the oral cavity, esophagus, and/or gastric compartments of 5 alpacas submitted for postmortem examination. Fusobacterium necrophorum was isolated from the lesions in all alpacas, in combination with
