Abstract

Abstract : 1. We established a PCR‐RFLP analysis targeting R77H mutation in the Tyr gene as a more effective genotyping to identify carrier (C/c) with the albino allele and the agouti phenotypes. 2. Our breeding system, which targets the R77H site, is a useful cue for detecting C/c carriers with the agouti‐phenotype and helps us to obtain albinos by mating agouti‐phenotype carriers.
