The genetic basis of recessive self-colour pattern in a wild sheep population.

Heredity - 1 Feb 2010

Gratten J, Pilkington J G, Brown E A, Beraldi D, Pemberton J M, Slate J

Abstract excerpt

Bridging the genotype-phenotype gap for traits of ecological and evolutionary importance in natural populations can provide a novel insight into the origin and maintenance of variation. Here, we identify the gene and putative causal mutations underlying a recessive colour pattern phenotype ('self' or uniform colour) in a wild population of primitive Soay sheep. We targeted the agouti signalling protein (ASIP)...
