Characterisation of the Melanocortin 1 Receptor gene in Alpaca and identification of possible markers associated with phenotypic variations

The aim of this study was to determine if any correlation exists between MC1R polymorphisms, and skin and fibre colour in alpacas. Primers capable of amplifying the entire alpaca MC1R were designed from a comparative alignment of Bos taurus and Mus musculus MC1R gene sequences. The complete MC1R of...
