Categories: Integument (skin) phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: no

Considered a defect: no

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: long tail feathers in birds

Inheritance: Sasaki and Yamaguchi (1970) proposed a two-locus model: a dominant allele (Gt) at one locus, and recessive allele (mt) at a second locus. (Somes, 1990)

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
