Being Merle: The Molecular Genetic Background of the Canine Merle Mutation

The intensity of the merle pattern is determined by the length of the poly(A) tail of a repeat element which has been inserted into the boundary of intron 10 and exon 11 of the <i>PMEL17</i> locus in reverse orientation. This poly(A) tail behaves as a microsatellite, and due to replicati...
