Re: Another Mystery Color

You might well have a new color on your hands! :))   I went to the Gerbil Gene Predictor and copied only the "Undefined" possibilities. From there I eliminated all those combination which were not color point or spotted sense this pup is obviously CP. There was no mention as to the color of the eyes, so I kept the dark eyed possibilities.   I then looked up my genetic chart and tried to match the "undefined" combinations to those which are known and freely listed on various web sites.  I did this by matching the "core" genetic information, namely the A,E,G, and P loci and applied the color point term to the closest match. So, the results are as follows:   Agouti based possibilities (white bellied), from the parents genetics.   Dark Eyed, white bellied       Aa chcb EE gg Pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% = Color Point Grey Agouti   Aa chcb Ee gg Pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.78125% = Color Point Grey Agouti   Aa chcb ee gg Pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% = Light Color Point Polar Fox     Pink Eyed, white bellied   Aa chcb EE Gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% a Color Point Argente Golden??      Aa chcb Ee Gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.78125% Color Point Argente Golden??     Aa chcb ee Gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% a Color Point Yellow Fox??   Aa chcb EE gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625%   The closest genetic combination is that of Ivory Cream. Perhaps it's a Color Point Ivory Cream??   Aa chcb Ee gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.78125%    The closest genetic combination is that of Ivory Cream. Perhaps it's a Color Point Ivory Cream??   Aa chcb ee gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% a Color Point Apricot??     Self Colored, Dark Eyed   aa chcb EE gg Pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% = Light Color Point Slate   aa chcb Ee gg Pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.78125% = Light Color Point Slate   aa chcb ee gg Pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% = Light Color Point Silver Nutmeg     Self Colored, Pink Eyed   aa chcb EE Gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% This could be one of several possibilities: Color Point Lilac, Color Point Dove, Color Point Sapphire, or Pink Eyed Siamese??     aa chcb Ee Gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.78125% This could be one of several possibilities: Color Point Lilac, Color Point Dove, Color Point Sapphire, or Pink Eyed Siamese??   aa chcb ee Gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% = Light Color Point Argente Nutmeg   aa chcb EE gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% a Pink Eyed Color Point Slate??   aa chcb Ee gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.78125% a Pink Eyed Color Point Slate??   aa chcb ee gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% = Red Eyed Light Color Point Silver Nutmeg   I would love to hear what other on the list might think of this ;)  Particrlarly those who really are experts at this genetics thing.   Cinthia A.

Her gerbil had pups. The parents are a Pied Ivory Cream, and a siamese. The pup has the Pied Ivory Cream features but has the tail, ears, nose, and feet of a siamese gerbil. Weird, huh? Has anyone else every discovered this? ----------------------------------------------- Ashley Faerie Kiss Gerbils http://www.angelfire.com/my/rockingerbils/enter.html
