Muzzle colour Single marker analysis that was run considering separately all three phenotypic classes (pink/pale, grey and black muzzles) identified a peak of highly significant markers ( P = 1.41 × 10 −29 ) on BTA18 within the melanocortin 1 receptor ( MC1R ) gene (Table 2 and Fig. 3a ; Table S1 ).
