Missense SNP of the MC1R gene is associated with plumage variation in the Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus).

Animal genetics - 1 Aug 2012

Zhan X J, Dixon A, Fox N C, Bruford M W

Abstract excerpt

A single nucleotide polymorphism (MC1R: c.376A>G) in the MC1R gene was found to be highly correlated with pigment phenotype in the Gyrfalcon. Homozygous genotypes c.376GG and c.376AA were found to dominate the extreme white and dark plumage types respectively, and heterozygotes occurred mainly in...
