- •
Two genomic regions are required for red ketocarotenoid-based coloration in canaries
- •
The first region contains CYP2J19, a cytochrome P450 family member
- •
CYP2J19 is implicated as the ketolase required for ketocarotenoid formation in birds
- •
The second region maps to a cluster of genes involved in epidermal differentiation
