By in silico analysis, the full complement of melanocortin receptors in both zebrafish and the pufferfish, Fugu are identified and the comparison of the amino acid sequences of the encoded proteins with the orthologous receptor in other vertebrates is shown.

Melanocortin 1 receptor variation in the domestic dog

The results indicate that the e allele is caused by a common Mc1r loss-of-function mutation that either reoccurred or was subject to gene conversion during recent evolutionary history, and suggest that the allelic and locus relationships for dog coat color genes may be more analogous to those found in other mammals than previously thought.
