OMIA:002278-9135 : Feather colour, BCO2-related in Serinus canaria (common canary) |
In other species: White-collared manakin
Categories: Pigmentation phene
Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 611740 (gene)
Single-gene trait/disorder: yes
Disease-related: no
Key variant known: no
Species-specific name: Feather colour mosaic
History: Mosaic is actually a breed created by crossing the red siskin (Spinus cucullatus) with the common canary (Serinus canaria) and then backcrossing to the canary while selecting for pigmentation.
