Sheep Skin Genes Reveal Hidden Biology Behind Black and White Coats
New research into sheep skin genetics is shedding light on the biological mechanisms that determine whether sheep have black or white coats. The findings point to gene activity in skin tissue as a key factor behind coat colour variation, offering insight that could matter for breeding and our broader understanding of pigmentation biology in livestock.
Why now: Fresh coverage of a genetics study with potential implications for livestock breeding and pigmentation research.
