      Felid exhibit tremendous intra- and inter-species coat color/pattern variations, yet the genetic basis of these variations remains largely unknown. Our research takes the advantage of the latest felid genome assembly (i.e. domestic cat, tiger) and the cut-edge sequencing technique to reveal the genetic mechanism underlying the coat color determination of felid.
