    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

  4. 2. Genetic Studies of Pigmentation in Chicken

    Author : Ulrika Gunnarsson; Leif Andersson; Göran Andersson; Susanne Kerje; William J. Pavan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Domestic animals have been selected by humans for thousands of years, which have drastically altered their genetic constitution and phenotypes. In this thesis, several of the most important genes causing pigmentation differences between the wild red junglefowl (Gallus gallus) and domestic chickens have been identified. READ MORE
