The progressive loss of colour in the hair of grey horses is controlled by a dominantly inherited allele at the __Grey__ locus (__G^G^__). In this study, two paternal Quarter Horse (QH) families segregating for the __G^G^__ allele were genotyped with a set of 101 microsatellite markers spanning the

The dominant grey coat colour gene of horses has been mapped using a whole genome scanning approach. Samples from a large halfβsibling pedigree of Thoroughbred horses were utilized in order to map the grey coat colour locus, __G__. Multiplex groups of microsatellite markers were developed and used t
The appaloosa coat colour pattern of the horse is similar to that caused by the __rumpβwhite__ (__Rw__) gene in the mouse. In the mouse __Rw__ colour pattern is the result of an inversion involving the __protoβoncogene cβkit__ (__KIT__). Therefore, we investigated __KIT__ as a candidate gene that en
The colour locus historically referred to as __C__ in the horse is linked to microsatellites markers on horse chromosome 21. Preliminary results demonstrated linkage of __C__^cr^, thought to be the cream dilution variant of the __C__ locus, to __HTG10__. An analysis of horse chromosome 21 using addi
