Figure 5From: A single point-mutation within the melanophilin gene causes the lavender plumage colour dilution phenotype in the chickenPCR-RFLP analysis for the presence/absence of the LAV*L allele. PCR amplification from genomic DNA results in a band of size 480 bp. Digestion with Bsr BI cuts the wild type LAV*N allele into two fragments of sizes 334 bp and 146 bp, while the LAV*L allele does not digest; (A) LAV*L/LAV*L, (B) LAV*N/LAV*L, (C) LAV*N/LAV*N.Back to article page
