Everything you need to know about genetics, you can learn from your cat,” said Leslie Lyons, a veterinary scientist at the ...

Recently, butlers to orange-colored cats got a bit of a shock when reading the news, as headlines began to call out their ...

橙猫因独特基因突变呈现姜黄色，80%为雄性，科学家揭示其X染色体上ARHGAP36基因抑制黑色素，造就迷人毛色。 橘猫的毛色如夕阳般温暖，总是让人忍不住多看几眼。最近，科学家们揭开了这种迷人姜黄色的秘密，却也引发了一场小小的风波——有些媒体戏称橘猫是 ...

Ginger cats have always stood out, not just because of their bright orange coats, but because they are mostly male. For years ...

亲人、活泼、贪吃、胖，这些都是大家对橘猫的印象。橘猫为什么如此贪吃，可能是每个橘猫主人心中最大的问号，不过除此之外，它们整身橘黄色毛发，也一直是科学家眼中的大谜团。 经过数十年的疑问与探究，5月中发布两篇新研究，科学家终于找到橘猫之所以是橘色的基因秘密！ 为什么橘猫都是公猫，三花都是母猫？

Ping-pong bots, drumming chimps, picking styles of two jazz greats, and an ancient underground city’s soundscape.

The team found that the coloring was decided by the ARHGAP36 gene on the X chromosome. The orange coloration reflects a missing portion of this gene, while the black fur color is due to the absence of ...

ARHGAP36 is known as X-linked, meaning that it is located on the X chromosome. In female cats (and all female mammals), one of the two X chromosomes in each cell is randomly switched off in a ...

He and his research team analyzed DNA in skin tissue from cats with and without orange fur, and found a mutation to the ARHGAP36 gene. This was a type of deletion mutation, meaning that a segment ...

Stanford Medicine researchers discover mechanisms of sex-linked genetic mutation giving rise to ginger felines.

The scientists found that in orange cats' melanocytes – the pigmentation cells – the gene ARHGAP36 was more active, and all had the missing piece of code. And this gene was in turn instructing ...
