Interaction between the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) and agouti signalling protein genes (ASIP), and their association with black and brown coat colour phenotypes in peruvian alpaca
The aim of this work was to assess the interaction between MC1R and ASIP genes in determining coat colour variation in black and brown Peruvian alpacas. Skin biopsies were collected from 25 black alpacas and 15 brown alpacas. Genomic DNA was isolated, amplified and sequenced. Black alpacas were domi...
