UC Davis Color DNA results.. HELP..

Coat Color results for Classy Little Mary(DT22418): :hammer :BH :argue There has been much chatter but no one can answer this.. Anyone here know how to decode these results? :newbie Red-Factor Result:E/e - Both black and red factors detected. Either E or e transmitted to offspring. Basic color is black, bay or brown in the absence of other modifying genes. Agouti Result:a/a - Only recessive allele detected. Black pigment distributed uniformly. Basic color is black in the absence of other modifying genes. Cream Result: N/Cr - Heterozygous, dilute, one copy of Cream gene. Typical colors are palomino, buckskin and smoky black in the absence of other modifying genes.

E/e--heterozygous for black colour, can produce chestnut foal if breeding stock.

a/a--homozygous "negative" for bay, can not produce bay unless bred to horse carrying "A" agouti

N/Cr--has one copy of creme gene, will produce creme-carrying foal 50% of the time.

Translation--horse is a heterozygous smokey black. Can produce chestnut, black, palomino and smokey black if matched with similar horse. Cannot produce buckskin or bay without the use of a bay/buckskin or chestnut/palomino carrying the "A" version of agouti.

Thank you..

She looks smutty buckskin. But, she is dark. The tan comes up from under her front legs, her buns and under her tail. She also has the tan color that appears to be under her darker coat on her chest area.. :HB

They just looked like baby cream blues that were beginning to turn to me (getting that hazel look that often comes when baby creams turn amber or brown).

This filly is a weanling. Where are you seeing the pics? Can I post using tinypics? I am new here and will see if I can get some shots loaded up.

I will attempt on this post to get some early shots of her. I have one that shows her eye real well. [attachment=0]Mary walking.jpg [attachment=1]Mary.jpg[/attachment]
