Genetic studies of the Syrian hamster. X. Rex
The rex mutant has its most obvious effect on coat structure but it also reduces 21-day body weight by about 14 per cent. There is no apparent effect on viability nor on the fecundity of the more robust rex fe...

The Chinchilla, Chinchilla lanigera
The chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera) is bred in a few laboratories, but at this time it is mostly bred on commercial ranches. The animal is a small to medium-sized rodent and is famous for its soft, dense, and hi...

The Domestic Cat, Felis catus
The cat (Felis catus or domesticus) is one of the few carnivores which have been investigated to any depth. The majority of known mutants affect coat color, although a number of interesting monogenic anomalies ha...

The Golden Hamster, Mesocricetus auratus
The golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) has adapted admirably to life in the laboratory and is now held in esteem by many workers. The majority of known mutant genes produce modification of coat color, but, if ...

The Guinea Pig, Cavia porcellus
The genetics of the domestic guinea pig, Cavia porcellus, is not being pursued so ardently (at this time) as that of other laboratory rodents but, notwithstanding, an impressive amount of material has accumulated...

The Red Fox, Vulpes vulpes
The genetics of the red fox are of interest because of the economic importance of this species. In this respect, the species has much in common with the American mink. The fox is bred on a large scale on ranch...

The American Mink, Mustela vison
The American mink is not a laboratory animal, but it is of considerable economic importance; not, strictly, in a utilitarian sense, but rather on the level of production of luxuriant pelts. As such, the animal...

Acromelanic albinism in mammals
A mutation to acromelanic albinism (symbol c h ) is reported for the Mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguiculatus (Milne-Edwards, 1867). A comparison is made of the characteristics o...

Oregon rex—A fourth rexoid coat mutant in the cat
The Oregon rex is shown to be due to an autosomal recessive gene (symbol ro) and is independent of the two previously known rexoid genes, Cornish rex and Devon rex.

Genetic studies of the Syrian hamster. VIII. The sex-linked gene Tortoiseshell
The occurrence of sex-linked yellow is described and designated as tortoiseshell (symbol To). The phenotype produced by the heterozygous female (To+) is a mosaic of that of ToTo and ++. Genetic inactivation of on...

Cat
The domestic cat is coming more into its own of recent years as a laboratory animal and it is hoped that greater attention will be paid to the more formal aspects of the species’ genetics. About 20 mutant gene...

American Mink
The mink is apparently of greater commercial, rather than laboratory, value at this time. However, considerable interest is taken in the retention and propagation of colour mutants and a large number have been...

Mutant gene frequencies in cats of Cyprus
Three areas of the island of Cyprus have been sampled for frequency of nine mutant genes among the domestic cat population. The significance of the observed frequencies are discussed with particular reference ...

Guinea-Pig
In the early days of mammalian genetics, the domestic guinea-pig featured almost as prominently as other laboratory rodents but, latterly, the animal has receded from favour. In spite of several systematic sea...
