Abstract excerpt
C57BL/6 laboratory mice usually show black coat color. We observed a dilute (gray) coat color phenotype in progenies of two C57BL/6 mice. This phenotype is inherited in an autosomal recessive mode. To uncover the molecular mechanism underlying this naturally occurring phenotypic variation, we performed whole-genome sequencing (25×) on 10 offspring of the two founder mice. The whole-genome DNA sequencing and...
