Chemical RNA Tags May Drive Sheep's Coat Color Change
Original: Chemical Tags on RNA May Steer a Sheep’s Dramatic Black-to-White Coat Change
Researchers report that chemical modifications on RNA may help control a dramatic seasonal coat change in sheep, in which the fleece shifts from black to white. The findings suggest epigenetic marks on RNA could regulate pigment-related genes during the transition, offering clues about how animals adapt their coloring.
Why now: New research linking RNA chemical tags to a striking visible trait change in sheep is drawing scientific and public interest.
