A deletion in exon 9 of the LIPH gene is responsible for the rex hair coat phenotype in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The fur of common rabbits is constituted of 3 types of hair differing in length and diameter while that of rex animals is essentially made up of amazingly soft down-hair.

Improving productivity of Rex, Satin and Reza rabbits through selection [PDF]
Jurnal Ilmu Ternak dan Veteriner, 2012 Selection based on weaning weight in Rex, Satin rabbits and their crosses was done to improve its productivity. Data from the base population (P0), selected population (G0) and an offspring of selected population (F1) were used to estimate heritability using nested analysis method (nested) and best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP).

KIT is involved in melanocyte proliferation, apoptosis and melanogenesis in the Rex Rabbit [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Melanocytes play an extremely important role in the process of skin and coat colors in mammals which is regulated by melanin-related genes. Previous studies have demonstrated that KIT is implicated in the process of determining the color of ...
