A novel AAT-deletion mutation in the coding sequence of the BCO2 gene in yellow-fat rabbits.

Journal of applied genetics - 1 Nov 2015

Abstract excerpt

The carcasses of yellow-fat rabbits may be attractive to modern consumers, because they have a relatively high content of biologically active compounds. One of the main candidate genes associated with the yellow-fat trait is β-carotene 9',10'-oxygenase (BCO2). This study is the first report of the novel AAT-deletion mutation at codon 248 of the BCO2 gene, which has been found in homozygous yellow-fat rabbits. The...
