Describing variability in the tyrosinase (TYR) gene, the albino coat colour locus, in domestic and wild European rabbits

Disrupting mutations affecting the tyrosinase (TYR) gene cause different forms of albinism in mice, humans and several other mammals. Classical genetic studies have already reported five alleles at the European rabbit Albino locus, indicated to be part of the C series, each of them with different ac...
