Thehorsecoatcolorpanel bundles together several diagnostic tests to evaluate coatcolor. Panel can be purchased on MyVGL. See below for pricing and list of specific tests included in panel.
If you would like to test for basecolor, dilution, and white spotting, please select the FullColor/Pattern Panel instead. Genetictestingis a powerful tool for understanding yourhorse'scoatcolorand planning for its breeding future.DNAtest results can look intimidating at first, but they are surprisingly straightforward to read once you understand the basic terminology. Equine CoatColorGenetics Base CoatColorThe base coatcolorsofhorsesinclude chestnut, bay, and black.
These are controlled by the interaction between two genes: Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R) and Agouti Signaling Protein (ASIP). The genotypes for both genes are necessary to determine the base coatcolorof ahorse.
