Quality markers for racing performance: an overview
Overview of the quality markers with a clear relation to racing capabilities;
Favorable variant of the new CRY1 gene (cryptochrome 1) very dominant in the Best Kittel family
DNA testing has revealed the rare and beneficial TT variant of this newly discovered gene is very dominantly present in this family of pigeons.
Breeding strategies with genotypes ; inheritance and tips
Victory Best Kittel was tested TTTT for the new CRY1 gene
New magnetoreception gene Cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) influences racing performance of racing pigeons
A new gene has been found with a statistical association with good competition performance. In addition to the already well-known genes LDHA and DRD4, there is thus a new relevant marker that can help breeding strategies to try to breed better performing pigeons.
