F6P601
Morphology
"The premature stop codon in pearl-eyed pigeons falls in exon 3 of SLC2A11B, and is predicted to severely truncate the resulting protein from 504 to 57 amino acids."
"Based on genotypes at the two coding SNPs in the pearl eye haplotype, we found that gene expression in embryo head samples only shows changes associated with the pearl eye haplotype in SLC2A11B, and not in any other genes within 15 kb of the pearl eye haplotype, further supporting SLC2A11B as the primary candidate for the pearl eye phenotype (supplementary fig. S3A, Supplementary Material online). Embryo heads homozygous for the pearl allele show a significant reduction in SLC2A11B expression (P = 3.94 × 10−6, two-tailed t-test; supplementary fig. S3B, Supplementary Material online). Analysis of read distribution within the SLC2A11B gene shows a decrease in spliced reads specifically within the first three annotated exons, suggesting that alternative splicing or nonsense-mediated decay may be occurring (supplementary fig. S3D, Supplementary Material online)." N
