Abstract excerpt
Classical genetic studies in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) suggested the presence of two alleles at the brown coat colour locus: a wild-type B allele that gives dense black pigment throughout the coat and a recessive b allele that in the homozygous condition (b/b genotype) produces brown rabbits that are unable to develop black pigmentation. In several other species, this locus is determined by...
