A genome-wide scan study identifies a single nucleotide substitution in MC1R gene associated with white coat colour in fallow deer (Dama dama) [PDF]
BMC Genetics, 2020 Background The coat colour of fallow deer is highly variable and even white animals can regularly be observed in game farming and in the wild. Affected animals do not show complete albinism but rather some residual pigmentation resembling a very pale ...

Polymorphism of the Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R) Gene and its Role in Determining the Coat Colour of Central European Cattle Breeds [PDF]
Animals, 2020 There are many genes responsible for the appearance of different coat colours, among which the melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R) plays an important role. The aim of the study was to characterize genetic variation in Central European cattle breeds based

Genetic polymorphism of adult reindeer coat colour in a herding cooperative in Finnish Lapland [PDF]
Rangifer, 2011 In a random sample of 188 adult reindeer belonging to a reindeer herding cooperative in Finnish Lapland, the following coat colour mutants were identified: Abf at the locus Agouti (A), kalppinokka (WNk) at the locus White Nose (WN) and white at the locus

Genomic mapping identifies two genetic variants in the MC1R gene for coat colour variation in Chinese Tan sheep. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Coat colour is one of the most important economic traits of sheep and is mainly used for breed identification and characterization. This trait is determined by the biochemical function, availability and distribution of phaeomelanin and eumelanin pigments.

Loss of strumpellin in the melanocytic lineage impairs the WASH Complex but does not affect coat colour. [PDF]
Pigment Cell Melanoma Res, 2016 The five-subunit WASH complex generates actin networks that participate in endocytic trafficking, migration and invasion in various cell types. Loss of one of the two subunits WASH or strumpellin in mice is lethal, but little is known about their role in

A genome-wide scan study identifies a single nucleotide substitution in the tyrosinase gene associated with white coat colour in a red deer (Cervus elaphus) population [PDF]
BMC Genetics, 2020 Background Red deer with very pale coat colour are observed sporadically. In the red deer (Cervus elaphus) population of Reinhardswald in Germany, about 5% of animals have a white coat colour that is not associated with albinism.

CHARACTERISATION OF COAT COLOUR IN THE SLOVENIAN POSAVJE HORSE
Slovenian Veterinary Research, 2021 Different approaches and classification systems have been established to describe equine coat colour, which varies between breeds and countries. In the present study, we first characterised the coat colour variability in the Slovenian Posavje Horse ...

Inheritance of coat colour in Slovak Pinzgau cattle [PDF]
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2016 The objective of the work was analysis of chestnut coat colour inheritance of Slovak Pinzgau cattle in accordance to age and farming system. In 304 cows of breeding groups P0,P1,P2 and R3 born between 2000 to 2010 from four breeding herds (4 agricultural
