MC1R
MC1R is a gene catalogued in the canine genome. Here is its canonical identity across the genomics world and, where documented, its human counterpart.
MC1R is the gene that controls the red-to-gold versus black-or-brown pigment switch.
The atlas reads this gene through one marker. Checked against breeds that visibly have and lack the trait, it does not tell them apart (golden retriever at 39%), so this page shows no breed frequencies for it.
MC1R as it is catalogued across the genomics world. Each link is the canonical record, so this gene composes with everything those resources know.
In humans, this gene's counterpart is MC1R. That ortholog is what connects MC1R to a century of human medical genetics.
Lookup and discovery are candidate-framed research surfaces. Classification renders AVCG grades we cite; Sniff does not score variants with a model of its own.
Per-breed allele frequencies across the atlas are surfaced for the trait loci Sniff has verified a direction-of-effect for. For MC1R we show the cited identity and disease associations, and we would rather show you exactly that than a frequency we cannot yet interpret honestly. See the gene catalog for trait loci with frequency views and every disease-linked gene page.
Gene identity and disease associations are grounded in OMIA (CC-BY) and the open Sniff Atlas. Full citation formats at sniff.world/cite.
