OMIA:001460-74940 : Flesh colour in Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Chinook salmon)

In other species: rainbow trout , black-lip pearl oyster

Categories: Pigmentation phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: no

Species-specific description: Changed from OMIA001460-75012 (Pardosa agrestis) to OMIA001460-74940 (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) [20/09/2023]

Inheritance: From the results of crosses, Ky et al. (2016) concluded that their results were consistent with a single-locus "two-allele model for flesh trait, whereby the orange allele is recessive to the black fleshed type"'

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
