OMIA:001460-102329 : Flesh colour in Pinctada margaritifera (black-lip pearl oyster)

In other species: rainbow trout , Chinook salmon

Categories: Pigmentation phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal co-dominant

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: no

Inheritance: From the results of strategic crosses, Ky et al. (2016) concluded that the segregation of shell colour is 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
