GTP cyclohydrolase II (gch2) and axanthism in ball pythons: a new vertebrate model for pterin-based pigmentation

Alan García‐Elfring, Heather L. Roffey, Jaren M. Abergas, Andrew P. Hendry, Rowan D. H. Barrett

The paper identifies a premature stop codon in the gch2 gene in axanthic ball pythons, linking it to pterin-based pigmentation and establishing ball pythons as a vertebrate model for studying axanthism.

A nonsense mutation in TFEC is the likely cause of the recessive piebald phenotype in ball pythons (Python regius)

Alan García‐Elfring, Heather L. Roffey, Andrew P. Hendry, Rowan D. H. Barrett

The paper identifies a nonsense mutation in TFEC as the likely cause of the piebald phenotype in ball pythons using whole-genome sequencing and population genetics.
