Molecular characterization of two candidate genes associated with coat color in Tibetan sheep (Ovis arise)

Coat color is a key economic trait in sheep. Some candidate genes associated with animal's coat color were found. Particularly, v-kit Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KIT) and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) play a key role in the modulation of hair...
