Fifty Shades of Fur: The Genetics of Pigmentation in Mammalian Species
|
| Description: |
Have you ever wondered why your hair is brown and your cousin’s hair is red? Have you ever wondered why a single litter of puppies can produce coats of many different colors, or why horses show such a broad range of coat colors and patterns? What makes the spots on an animal? Why are mice in one environment primarily one color, and those in another environment another color? Are some coat colors or patterns associated with disease or other defects? This nanocourse will explore the genetics of pigmentation in mammalian species, from humans to wild animals to our domesticated companions. We will discuss what forces – natural and artificial – have acted on various animal species to produce the variety of colors and patterns we see around us, and reveal the benefits and detriments of particular pigmentation alleles to the overall health of these species.
Lecturers:
Dr. David Fisher, Massachusetts General Hospital
Dr. Hopi Hoekstra, Harvard University
Dr. Leah Brault, Harvard Medical School
Location: Harvard Medical School, Tosteson Medical Education Center (TMEC), Room 209
