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 the inheritance of alpaca fibre colour is poorly understood. It is likely that colour dilution is having an influence on alpaca fibre colour, with all primarily pheomelanic animals differing mainly in their total melanin concentration, as opposed to relative concentrations of...
