The mutant genes of the Syrian hamster, which were originally designated as brown (b) and rust (r), are shown by morphological and phenotypic criteria, as well as by linkage studies in the case of brown, to be homologous with pink-eyed dilution (p) and brown (b), respectively, two well established loci in the genetics of mammalian pigmentation. It is proposed that the two mutants be appropriately redesignated.
叙利亚仓鼠的突变基因最初被命名为棕色(b)和铁锈色(r),通过形态学和表型标准,以及在棕色基因情况下的连锁研究表明,它们分别与哺乳动物色素沉着遗传学中两个已确立的基因座——粉红眼稀释(p)和棕色(b)同源。建议对这两个突变体进行适当的重新命名。
