Interesting dilute gene testing study. They are looking for Mini Rex samples as well as other breeds. If you’re willing to submit some samples for free testing I attached the link below ⬇️
Help validate Dilute gene in Mini Rex rabbits! Little Haven DNA urgently needs research samples from this breed. Learn more or submit a rabbit: https://www.littlehavendna.com/research/campaigns/dilute-gene/?breed=Mini+Rex -dilute-gene-mini-rex
🐇 Exciting Rabbit DNA Update! 🧬💜
The rabbit dilute gene test is now mostly functional, and I am sooo excited!
It is currently working for:
✨ Satin
✨ Havana
✨ Silver Fox
✨ Netherland Dwarf
I am now looking for a limited number of samples from other breeds to help verify the test further. Testing during this verification stage will be completely free.
I will begin by accepting breeders who can provide both known and unknown samples from the same breed. I need rabbits with a confirmed dilute status first, such as a visually dilute rabbit or a proven carrier, so I can verify that the test works correctly for that breed. Once the known samples are confirmed, I can also test unknown rabbits from that breed to help determine their dilute status.
Please let me know what breed you have, the colors of the rabbits, and how the known rabbits have been verified through color or breeding. 🐰💜
