Characterization of the yellow and fawn-2/beige mutations. a Schematic characterization of the genomic region in quail carrying the yellow deletion. The breakpoint upstream from the deletion was named 5′BKPT-Yel (for 5′ breakpoint), the downstream breakpoint was named 3′BKPT-Yel, and the junction point was named JUNCT-Yel. The colored arrows represent the different primer pairs used to validate the variant with a deletion. The fragment JUNCT-Yel was sequenced and includes an insertion of 241 bp of unknown origin (represented in purple). b Schematic characterization of the genomic region in quail carrying the fawn-2/beige tandem duplication. The breakpoints upstream and downstream from the duplication were named 5′BKPT-fawn-2 and 3′BKPT-fawn-2, respectively, and the junction point was named JUNCT-fawn-2. The colored arrows represent the different primer pairs used to validate the variants with a deletion. The fragment JUNCT-fawn-2 was sequenced and is represented in brown
