Tawny: a novel light coat color mutation found in a wild population of Mus musculus molossinus, a new allele at the melanocortin 1 receptor (Mc1r) locus.

Abstract excerpt

We found a new coat color mutant in a population of Japanese wild mice (Mus musculus molossinus) and called the trait tawny. The tawny mutant is characterized by a light yellowish brown coat color. The tawny hair has a so-called agouti pattern, but the yellow band is greatly lengthened. There are no differences between the tawny and wildtype hairs in size and the number of melanosomes. Genetic analyses revealed...
