ASIP Variants in Livestock: It's Not Black and White
Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Fur and feather pigmentation play an important role in the survival and reproduction of many species, as well as in selective breeding and agriculture. The synthesis of pigment molecules, eumelanin and pheomelanin, is partially regulated by the agouti signalling protein (ASIP) encoded by the ASIP gene.
