Why Is My Lab Yellow? The Genetics Behind Labrador Coat Color
Ever wondered why two black Labrador Retrievers can produce a yellow puppy? The answer lies in a beautiful example of genetic interaction called epistasis. In this episode, we explore how just two genes — TYRP1 and MC1R — work together to produce all three classic Lab coat colors: black, chocolate, and yellow. Spoiler: the yellow ones are hiding more than you might think.
