A 3-bp deletion in the SLC45A2 gene is associated with loss of fleece pigmentation in black-fleeced Suffolk sheep.

Animal genetics - 1 Feb 2025

Tearle R G, Chen T, Brien F D

Abstract excerpt

Sheep have naturally pigmented wool which interferes with dyeing. Selection has been carried out over many years to remove pigment, with substantial success, but most wool still contains some pigment. As an alternative to selection, it has been proposed to take a naturally occurring mutation found in black Suffolk sheep, that blocks wool pigmentation, and introgress it into other breeds. However, the nature of...
