The genetics of brown coat color and white spotting in domestic yaks (Bos grunniens).

Animal genetics - 1 Oct 2014

Zhang M-Q, Xu X, Luo S-J

Abstract excerpt

Domestic yaks (Bos grunniens) exhibit two major coat color variations: a brown vs. wild-type black pigmentation and a white spotting vs. wild-type solid color pattern. The genetic basis for these variations in color and distribution remains largely unknown and may be complicated by a breeding history involving hybridization between yaks and cattle. Here, we investigated 92 domestic yaks from China using a...
