Incidence of Mutation for Silver Coat Color in Black Forest Horses
Authors
Abstract:
Black Forest horses are typically chestnut colored with flaxen mane and tail. However, as their coat color can get very dark, they are sometimes also indicated as silver, a color depending on a black base color. To analyse if the silver allele is present in the Black Forest horse population, we genotyped 250 horses of this breed for formerly reported coat color mutations within MC1R and SILV. As a result, all Black Forest horses of this study were chestnut colored due to MC1R genotyping. Surprisingly, the silver mutation (SILV-1852C>T) occurred with a prevalence of 0.8%. As chestnut coat color is predominant in this breed, the silver mutation is expected to have very few to no phenotypic appearance in Black Forest horses and presumably results from incrossing of another breed.

BACKGROUND Studies on the molecular genetics of horse skin pigmentation have typically focused on very few genes and proteins. In this study, we used Illumina sequencing to determine the global gene expression profiles in horses with white-colored coats and those with black-colored coats, with the goal of identifying novel genes that could regulate horse coat color. RESULTS Genes encoding rib...
full textCoat Color Inheritance in Horses and in Other Mammals.
HE colors of horses have long been a subject of interest to owners and T breeders of horses as well as to scientists and much information about them is found in the stud-book records of particular breeds. Attempts to use this information in framing explanations of the observed results of matings within or between different color varieties have been made repeatedly since the rise of genetics at ...
full textMolecular tests for coat colours in horses.
Colour phenotypes may have played a major role during early domestication events and initial selection among domestic animal species. As coat colours mostly follow a relatively simple mode of Mendelian inheritance, they have been among the first traits to be systematically analysed at the molecular level. As a result of the number of genetic tools developed during the past decade, horse coat co...

Ashy deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were first discovered about 1960 in a wild population from Oregon. Although indistinguishable from the wild type at weaning, ashy deer mice become progressively grayer with subsequent molts. The trait is inherited as an autosomal recessive and the symbol ahy is assigned for the locus. The trait is distinctly manifest by 6 months of age, at which time homo...

The tyrosinase gene was selected as a candidate for uncovering genetic mechanism causing “black ear” coat color in rabbits. A PCR-SSCP detection method was established for the 881→881 mutation located in the central region of the tyrosinase gene between the CuA and CuB binding region signatures, and this was confirmed by sequencing and alignment. Fully consistent associations between the SNP an...
