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...
... I am definitely not stating things very well here. Lemarkianism is not where I was trying. Simply put, I was just trying to state that stress is a catalyst...
... You have stated things here very well, and I wouldn't think that anyone with a good knowledge of practical genetics would have any trouble understanding...
Perhaps there is a different way you can say what you mean? It is always important to remember that mutations are not directional. What is turned on and off...
Now, I think that there is some confusion between genetics (what shows in the individual) and population genetics (what shows in the population) so here are...
Two months ago, I lost my wolfysluv.com because the?generous fella who donated the domain to me accidentally let it expire.? I was hoping to be able to scoop...
Not the reason one would hope for genome work. It could certainly help ferrets to have the information, but increasing the numbers in some of the sorts of...
Hi! I'm a newbie in your group and it's difficult to me to navigate here (I've never used yahoo groups before). Could you please give me links to information...
"STAR gene" is NOT a gene. STAR refers to a variety of genetics changes involving several possible loci (locations), each of which can affect the very early...
Apologies. I thought that I had succeeded in removing all attachments from the earlier mail of my own that I snarfed from. Somehow I missed two study paper...
If you pay attention to ONLY one thing then let it be Dr. Brett Middleton's post: http://ferrethealth.org/archive/YG3069 and in relation to "STAR" just...
One more question: does the probability of a pathology development depend on the lineage of the fancies? In Russia we have only three lineages of fancy colored...
Unless the kits have been BAER tested, there is no way of knowing for sure how many are partially deaf. Regardless, they can still produce total deafness even...
Hey if you haven't done so already, Subscribe to the ferrets magazine newsletter. It's really nice. I dont have time to always read the online mag .....
