Traits

Traits are not a gene but are modifiers that adjust the extent of how some genes present them selves some trait modifiers are :

Intensity Marker, this is typically seen in Rabbits with a non-extension coat pattern "red". and the intensity is usually noted as +(Palimino creamy yellow) to ++++(dark mahogany red )

The extent of the broken gene( outside of genetic Charlies), En - Broken can represent itself from a booted Broken where as little white as a single white toenail may be the only indication of a broken pattern , all the way to a False Charlie where the rabbit is nearly white. various Broken Patterns include, Booted Broken over 90% color, Blanket Broken 10-50%, False Charlie less then 10% color.

I'm currently working on compiling a list of protein chains we know correlate to specific traits and will probably need to reach out to a few researchers. Certain aspects would simplify breeding if we could just map them. Also, as we discussed, cross-referencing those traits with others like growth and type... I know they already mapped the rabbit genome; I just don't have complete access to it yet to convert that information into a more understandable format.   

rabbit genome map. So, there are several sections, but a test for white spot carriers would be a good early start. It would have to look for Dutch, "dud, duw," Vienna, and English Spot En, at bare minimum. Because we have a few discrepancies popping up, we think they are due to intense modifiers making an extreme blanket pattern. So, a genetically spotted rabbit appears solid.

After that, I have a few other tests that would be useful, but I'm still hashing that problem out to figure out exactly what would need to be tested for. Other things I'm interested in seeing have any correlation is recessive genes' effect on immunity, the Harlequin gene, and heat tolerance.

a genetic test that breeders can use to help in selecting future stock. like you have for horses and dogs that give definitive genetic outcomes for coat patterns, as well as several hereditary disorders... so for rabbits it would be coat geneone, split penis carriers, malocusion carriers, mooneye, ect.
