Sex-Linked Dilution Colour in the European Domestic Goose Indicated To Be a 1-Bp Deletion in the Melan-A Gene.

Animal genetics - 1 Aug 2026

Olli Suvi, Ahola Vikke, Heikkinen Marja E, Honka Johanna

Abstract excerpt

Plumage colour in domestic geese is an important economic trait and a selection target since the early days of domestication. In European domestic geese of greylag goose (Anser anser) origin, white plumage is known to be determined by two independent loci, one causing white spotting and another sex-linked dilution, together producing white plumage. Strong candidate genetic variants have been identified upstream...
