Inheritance of fibre colour in alpacas: identifying the genes involved
There is no current theory that fully explains the genetic mechanisms of fibre colour inheritance in alpacas. My PhD project analysed three genes, MC1R, ASP and Tyrp1, previously identified as key genes controlling pigment determination in mammals. This project reports the identification of several...
