Investigation of the role of the agouti signaling protein gene (ASIP) in coat color evolution in primates.

Mammalian genome : official journal of the International Mammalian Genome Society - 1 Dec 2006

Mundy Nicholas I, Kelly Joanne

Abstract excerpt

We investigated variation in the gene encoding the agouti signaling protein (ASIP) in relation to coat color evolution in primates. We found little evidence that mutations in the coding region of ASIP have been involved in color changes among closely related primate species. Among many closely related species with differing coat color, the coding region of ASIP was identical. In two cases (Sulawesi macaque and...
