Researchers used stem cells to create retinal
pigment epithelium cells, which were transplanted into a patient's retina (left) in an
area depicted by the
black circle.
Considering the concentrations of melanosomes the researchers found, even if the animals had other
pigments that weren't ultimately preserved, the
pigment - bearing
areas would likely have been dark gray or
black.
This dog carries two copies of KB which prevents expression of the agouti gene (A locus) and allows for solid eumelanin (
black pigment) production in
pigmented areas of the dog.
Dogs with one or two copies of KB will not express agouti coat colors (sable / fawn, tricolor,
black and tan, or tan points) and their coat color would be solid in
pigmented areas as determined by the E and B genes.
If they are located in a
pigmented area, sable dogs should have
black whiskers.
Merle is inherited in a dominant fashion, meaning that only one copy of an M allele is necessary for a dog to display some variation of the merle coat color / pattern, which is marked by random dilution of eumelanin (
black pigment) leaving patches of normal coat color within
areas of diluted pigmentation.
Another allele, on a different chromosome locus, can cause the arrangement or packed density of
pigment granules to give a brownish color in
areas that are commonly
black in many breeds: nose, dorsal haircoat, etc..
