Polymorphisms Detected in the Tyrosinase and MATP (SLC45A2) Genes Did Not Explain Coat Colour Dilution in a Sample of Alpaca (Vicugna pacos)
The molecular basis of inheritance of alpaca fibre colour is poorly understood. However, colour dilution genes are anticipated to be causing a major effect on alpaca fibre colour. Candidate genes for dilutions included tyrosinase (tyr) and membrane associated transport protein (matp), both of which...
