Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Head spot is one of the phenotypes identified in the KFRS4/Kyo rat strain. Although previous linkage analysis suggested that Ednrb, which is frequently involved in coat color variations in various animals, could be the gene responsible for this phenotype, no mutations have been identified in its coding region. RESULTS: To identify mutations causative of this phenotype in KFRS4/Kyo, we analyzed target...
