MC1R gene: comparison between different farm animal species
Coat colour genes in farm animals have only been studied at molecular level over the last ten years, starting with Klungland et al. in 1995. Among the genes involved in pigmentation, MC1R, previously known as Extension locus, revealed polymorphisms related to red and black coat colour in different f...
