Sequence Characterization of the MC1R Gene in Yak (Poephagus grunniens) Breeds with Different Coat Colors

Figure 2

Sequence variations of the three MC1R haplotypes in yaks. Dots (•) denote identity with the cattle MC1R allele 𝐸⁺, which was used as a reference sequence (GenBank accession numbers Y13957 and Y19103). Amino acid substitutions (AA Subst.) were listed below the nucleotide information. The three known cattle MC1R alleles were also included to demonstrate the difference between the yak and cattle sequences. Numbering was scored relative to the first codon of the cattle MC1R allele 𝐸⁺.
