Of the seven mouse-identified genes modified by the researchers, one (a variant of the Mc1r gene) led to the shiny blond coat colour. At least one mammoth carcass dug up from the Siberian permafrost ...
They then selected 10 gene variants related to hair length ... Other targeted genes include MC1R which recreated the golden coat of a woolly mammoth rather than the black ones of the wild mice. The ...
Other target genes included MC1R (melanocortin 1 receptor), which regulates melanin production, in order to produce mice with golden hair rather than the usual dark fur and a variant associated ...

(CNN) — It’s tiny, but this lab mouse could have a mammoth impact. With curly whiskers and wavy, light hair that grows three times longer than that of an ordinary lab mouse, the genetically ...
and a change to the gene MC1R gave the mice a mammoth’s trademark rusty color. To avoid any concerns about mouse health, researchers used gene variants which have been observed in healthy mice ...
