PCMR OCtober 2008 issue
A new issue (October 2008) of the scientific journal Pigment Cell and Melanoma Research has been published and released. Its contents include these topics and manuscripts.
Color Genes WEB
The WEB page that contains the most updated information about COLOR GENES has changed its name to better reflect the wide variety of loci involved in pigmentation, including some that do not affect or involve coat color. Therefore, the old name of “Coat Color Genes” has been updated to COLOR GENES. This WEB page is available from the ESPCR WEB site.
The Coat Color Genes WEB has been updated. 79 new loci have been added as cloned and uncloned pigmentary genes. This site, hosted at the ESPCR WEB, now holds information of 210 genes that are directly or indirectly related to pigmentation, and also includes up to 84 mouse pictures, generously contributed by several ESPCR members and colleagues, illustrating the phenotype of some of these mutations.
The latest issue of the PASPCR Newsletter has been just published (vol. 16(2); August 2008). This issue includes the 20th IPCC Report, prepared by Prashiela Manga and Emilia Costin.
