socks 32,253 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 A mobile genetic unit called a Retrotransposon insertion in premelanosome protein (PMEL17) or silver locus protein homolog (SILV) is responsible for Merle patterning in a number of domestic dog breeds. Merle is actually a heterozygote of an incompletely dominant gene. 1 Quote Link to post
