Abstract:
An alloimmune reagent has been produced that distinguishes the equine factor Df in the D phenogroup, cfmqr, from that occurring in cefmqr and dfklr. Using this reagent it has been possible to correctly genotype Dc, d, f, k, l, m, q and r positive cells without recourse to family data.

Overview
Epistasis
In addition to multiple alleles at the same locus influencing traits, numerous genes or alleles at different locations may interact and influence phenotypes in a phenomenon called epistasis. For example, rabbit fur can be black or brown depending on whether the animal is homozygous dominant or heterozygous at a TYRP1 locus. However, if the rabbit is also homozygous recessive at a locus on the tyrosinase gene (TYR), it will have an unshaded coat that appears white, regardless of its TYRP1...
