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

Molecular genetics of coat colour in pigs [PDF]
Acta agriculturae Slovenica. Suplement, 2013 Coat colour in Sus scrofa has been the matter of pioneering genetics studies carried out at the beginning of the last century. Since then, classical genetics studies have assumed that several loci affect this trait in pigs. With the advent of molecular genetics it was possible to identify genes and mutations affecting coat colours and patterns in pigs.

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

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.

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.

Assessing SNPs in coat colour genes for cattle breed traceability [PDF]
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010 Aim of this research was to identify a panel of SNPs in coat colour genes useful for breed traceability in Rendena, an autochthonous cattle breed raised in the province of Trento, and other 4 Italian cattle breeds.

Molecular coat colour genetics [PDF]
, 2004 Coat colour, being sufficiently easy to observe and score, is a model phenotype for studying gene action and interaction. Farm animals provide us a valuable resource for identifying genes behind such phenotypic traits, because they show a remarkably higher diversity in coat colour compared to natural populations. This thesis concerns two different farm

Does coat colour influence survival? A test in a cyclic population of snowshoe hares. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2023 Some mammal species inhabiting high-latitude biomes have evolved a seasonal moulting pattern that improves camouflage via white coats in winter and brown coats in summer. In many high-latitude and high-altitude areas, the duration and depth of snow cover
