Polymorphism of the Melanocortin 1 Receptor (<i>MC1R</i>) Gene and its Role in Determining the Coat Colour of Central European Cattle Breeds

Polymorphism of the Melanocortin 1 Receptor (<i>MC1R</i>) Gene and its Role in Determining the Coat Colour of Central European Cattle Breeds

There are many genes responsible for the appearance of different coat colours, among which the melanocortin 1 receptor gene (<i>MC1R</i>) plays an important role. The aim of the study was to characterize genetic variation in Central European cattle breeds based on polymorphism of the <...
