Protein-coding variation and introgression of regulatory alleles drive plumage pattern diversity in the rock pigeon

2018-01-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Birds and other vertebrates display stunning variation in pigmentation patterning, yet the genes controlling this diversity remain largely unknown. Rock pigeons ( Columba livia ) are fundamentally one of four color pattern phenotypes, in decreasing order of melanism: T-check, checker, bar (ancestral), or barless. Using whole-genome scans, we identified NDP as a candidate gene for this variatio...
