Independent Nonframeshift Deletions in the MC1R Gene Are Not Associated with Melanistic Coat Coloration in Three Mustelid Lineages
Article Abstract:
Wolverine, marten, weasel, and badger species were used to examine genetic coat coloration processes. Repeated and biased occurrences of deletion events in wolverine and marten (the Martes/Gulo clade) were attributed to specific indel-neighboring motifs.
