The film addresses a sex-related issue, but in a mature manner After Hrs Correspondent Updated : Sep 01, 2017, 06:10 AM IST Sunny Deol has a reason to rejoice. His new movie, Poster Boys, which is a ...

Nine hundred years ago, before the advent of intentional cat breeding, a genetic mutation gave rise to the first orange cat. Days ago, Stanford Medicine researchers revealed exactly which gene ...

In cats only, a small deletion of information on the X chromosome activates Arhgap36 in pigment cells where it is normally not active, triggering orange fur. Males have XY sex chromosomes and ...

Fortunately for orange cats, the mutation is in a non-coding part of the DNA, which means while it influences ARHGAP36 expression, it doesn't directly code for proteins. “This is key,” said ...

But 48 were also found in non-orange cats, which left three likely candidates for the elusive mutation. One was a small, 5,076-base pair deletion that removed about 0.005% of the X chromosome in a ...

Why Trust Us? Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The gene that causes orange coloration in cats had been pondered for years, but never actually found—until now. Cats with ...

there’s a fairly small chance it will be expressed by every cell and present as an even (or even semi-even) orange coat. To be orange, a female cat must have the orange gene on both X ...

The lost link in a gene called ARHGAP36 makes it so that the cells in orange felines produce lighter colors for their skin, eyes, and fur tone. In ginger cats’ melanocytes, the cells responsible ...
