From Permits to Samples: Addressing Key Challenges for High‐Quality Reference Genome Generation in Europe

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐quality reference genome assemblies have become essential for deepening our understanding of biodiversity, yet obtaining them for many species remains surprisingly challenging. Drawing on experiences from the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) community, we focus on permit and sample‐handling procedures leading up to nucleic acid ...

Genetic variation of the bronze locus (MC1R) in turkeys from Southern Brazil

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2017
Domestic turkeys present several color phenotypes controlled by at least five genetic loci, but only one of these has been identified precisely: the bronze locus, which turned out to be the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene. MC1R variation is important

Specific mutations in the genes of MC1R and TYR have an important influence on the determination of pheomelanin pigmentation in Korean native chickens

Journal of Advanced Veterinary and Animal Research, 2021
Objective: The TYR (Tyrosinase) and MC1R (Melanocortin 1 receptor) genes are recognized as important genes involved in plumage pigmentation in Korean native chickens. Specifically, most color patterns in chicken result from differential expression of the

Model-based prediction of human hair color using DNA variants [PDF]

, 2011
Predicting complex human phenotypes from genotypes is the central concept of widely advocated personalized medicine, but so far has rarely led to high accuracies limiting practical applications.

A novel approach to target skin photodamage: Topical application of salt inducible kinase inhibitors

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 1-15, February 2026.
UV‐induced photodamage leads to increased DNA damage and elevated MMP levels, which degrade collagen and contribute to wrinkle formation. SLT‐001 and SLT‐008, novel cosmetic ingredients that target salt‐inducible kinase, help reverse this effect by enhancing DNA repair, reducing MMP expression and decreasing erythema, thereby mitigating photodamage ...

Comprehensive genetic testing combined with citizen science reveals a recently characterized ancient MC1R mutation associated with partial recessive red phenotypes in dog

Canine Medicine and Genetics, 2020
Background The Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R) plays a central role in regulation of coat color determination in various species and is commonly referred to as the “E (extension) Locus”.

Targeting Melasma: Innovations in Pigment Deposition and Photoaging in Cosmetic Dermatology

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Melasma is a chronic, relapsing hyperpigmentation disorder driven by complex interactions among genetic predisposition, hormonal fluctuations, UV exposure, oxidative stress, inflammation, and photoaging. Its psychosocial impact is substantial, especially among women with darker skin types, and treatment remains challenging due to ...

Dominant Red Coat Color in Holstein Cattle Is Associated with a Missense Mutation in the Coatomer Protein Complex, Subunit Alpha (COPA) Gene. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Coat color in Holstein dairy cattle is primarily controlled by the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene, a central determinant of black (eumelanin) vs. red/brown pheomelanin synthesis across animal species. The major MC1R alleles in Holsteins are Dominant
