Description
Widya Putra and co-authors read a coat color gene in Indonesian buffalo in 2025 and found three mutation sites never reported before. Buffalo with rare white or striped coats hold a prized place in local funeral rites, so their genetics carry cultural weight as well as farm value.
The team sequenced a stretch of the gene in six buffalo, four of them rare coated animals from one region, and compared them with seven breed sequences from a public database. Five variation sites appeared in total. The three new ones showed up in every animal tested, whatever its coat. Computer shape checks suggest the changes could bend the protein's form and alter its work. The study adds markers for coat studies.
