Abstract: The melanogenesis pathway regulates pigmentation through the synergic action of various genes. We are interested in analysing the genetic variations in the ASIP which determine eumelanin production in the dermis layer. In the present study,… read more here.

Abstract: In the traditional Menz sheep breeding, communities select against black coat color and therefore its frequency is declining over time. We hypothesize that this exercise is causing the loss of an important gene pool. Data… read more here.
