Abstract excerpt
We investigated TYRP1 as a candidate locus for the recessive, sex-linked roux (br(r)) phenotype in Japanese quail. A screen of the entire coding sequence of TYRP1 in roux and wild-type quail revealed a non-synonymous T-to-C substitution in exon 3, leading to a Phe282Ser mutation. This was perfectly associated with plumage phenotype: all roux birds were homozygous for Ser282. Co-segregation of the Phe282Ser...
