14. Dissecting Phenotypic Variation in Pigmentation using Forward and Reverse Genetics
Abstract : Coat color and patterning phenotypes have been extensively studied as a model for advancing our understanding of the relationship between genetic and phenotypic variation. In this thesis, genes of relevance for pigment cell biology were investigated. The dissertation is divided in two parts. READ MORE
