MC said that I can go ahead and send this to help all AOL F-G members, too. AOL has been recently bouncing huge numbers of Yahoogroups posts and digests to its...
If at first Yahoogroups does not work try, try again... ... Sukie (not a vet) Recommended ferret health links: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ferrethealth/...
Sent with MC's permission: The words here are only my own, so I strongly advise checking out the links below to learn more. Because the resource is one that...
Is it possible that an albino ferret is carrying, but masking, color genes that are associated with genetic problems ie badger stripe for example, or any...
In a past symposium Dr. Brett Middleton, who is a classical geneticist and a university genetics professor, said that does happen. The loci (locations) of the...
... My question was really not about the more serious breeding induced problems but I used it as an sample question. My real question derives from the fact...
Bob Wagner's U Pitt team HAS found p53 (or is it p54?) in ferrets. That is a genetic variant that makes it difficult for the body to fight endocrinological...
... The question is based on the fact that albinos carry whatever color genes they inherit but which are prevented from being expressed (as coat color) by the...
Syrian hamsters do not currently have an albino gene, but they do have two genes that exist on the C-locus. One is Dark-eared white. This will mask any other...
Here is what P53 SHOULD do, but Bob Wagner's Pitt team found a P53 mutation which prevented the protective function: http://ferrethealth.org/archive/FHL6467 ...
yeah i find all the genetic stuff really flying over my head lol so feel free to dum it down.. tell me like i'm 5 LOL I have a litter of Kits, Jill is Sandy...
Hello! My name is Heather and i live in Devon,England with my Husband, our 17 yr old Jack Russell and our ever growing hunting team of ferrets. At current we...
Hi Heather! Welcome to our group. It can get pretty slow here at times, but when an interesting subject comes up, things really start swinging! We are...
This interesting information. However, there are some thing missing from the slides that would need to be addressed before I could take this as valid...
... If her breeding stock has a background free of the patterns known to carry/produce NCD, then she shouldn't be seeing any of it. I breed medium to dark...
Actually, genes DO change. Everyone here has some mutations, for instance -- usually multiple ones given the allele rate of genetic mutation. Everyone here is...
... I agree with most of what has been said. ... This is a good example of using established lines and good record keeping in action. ... I can only speak for...
... Well, normally it's that the populations adapt by those individuals who are not well suited dying off, but mutations do help allow for variations that can...
... I am well aware that genes mutate. However, the rate of mutation is relatively low. Since this discussion has to do with the genetic causes of NCD in...
... This may be true but you cannot rely on albinos to be carrying any particular color gene set. You would need history of their ancestry of 3 or better 4...
... Rates of mutation are not by organism but by allele. As a result anything with plenty of alleles: humans, ferrets, rice (which has a heck of lot more...
... This would true in situations where the changes are dramatic, such as a severe climate change which would change not only the environment but the foods...
... No, that also occurs with gradual pressures upon a population. Remember to not confuse the shifts in rates that happen with population genetics with the...
