Regulatory and epistatic networks unravel the complexity of piebald, a pigmentation phenotype in Merino sheep. Ovis aries

Transcriptional profiling of Ovine skin samples comparing pigmentation samples from piebald and normal Merino sheep Overall design: All pair comparison of 5 pigmentation samples with dye swaps. Dye swaps were performed with different biological replicates (labelled 1 or 2) NOR - White sample from a normal, non-affected wild-type individual sheep PBB - Black sample from a piebald individual sheep PBW - White sample from a piebald individual sheep RSB - Black sample from a recessive black sheep RSW - White sample from a recissive black sheep taken from the inguinal, non-pigmented area.
