The chr3:g.100483705C>T variant is linked to black coat colour in possum. (a) Possum ears collected from grey (left) and black (right) animals around Lawrence (Otago, New Zealand). (b) Allele frequency at position chr3:100483705 in possums with grey (left) and black (right) fur (from a). The reference ‘C’ allele is grey, and the variant ‘T’ allele is black. Values represent the read number for the C allele (left) and the T allele (right) from the amplicon sequencing data for each sample. (c) The number of possums phenotyped as grey, black or red in the Dunedin population that were genotyped as homozygous C/C, heterozygous C/T or homozygous T/T at position chr3:100483705.
