Tabby Coat Colour Pattern - Mc Locus (Feline)

$50

(ONLINE PRICE)

ADD TO CART

Test Overview:

Genotyping for the Taqpep gene (Mc locus) helps predict the pattern outcomes of litters. Cats with two copies of mc allele (mc/mc) will produce classic tabby kittens if paired appropriately. Mating two mackerel tabby cats (Mc/Mc or Mc/mc) can produce both mackerel and classic tabby kittens depending on their genotype. To increase classic tabby in offspring, breed two cats expressing the classic pattern (likely mc/mc). For predictable coat patterns, use genetic testing to identify carrier status of Mc allele vs. mc. Keep in mind modifiers like Sp locus for spotted tabby or Ti locus for ticked tabby that influence the overall coat pattern and may affect visual appearance.
