Chemical RNA Tags May Drive Sheep's Black-to-White Coat Change
Original: Chemical Tags on RNA May Steer a Sheep’s Dramatic Black-to-White Coat Change
Researchers report that chemical modifications on RNA molecules may help explain how some sheep dramatically shift from black to white coats. The finding points to gene regulation, rather than DNA changes alone, as a driver of the colour change, offering a possible model for studying reversible traits in animals.
Why now: A new study linking RNA chemical tags to a striking coat colour change in sheep is drawing attention from the science community.
