- What's going on in the world of reptile genetics???
Dr. Ben Morrill of Rare Genetics, Inc. presents the next episode in Reptile Genetics Weekly, a video series where we discuss genetic research in reptiles--including the research we're pioneering!
Research Cited:
A frameshift variant in the melanophilin gene is associated with loss of pigment from shed skin in ball pythons (Python regius)

Grateful for what you guys do for the industry. It'd be really amazing to see you invite Pro Herper for chat, he's the only one doing shed tests in Europe, as far as i know.
Thanks for the kind words! And yes, we are working together with him and others to try and finalize the monsoon test!
In cornsnakes, there are 3 (not counting wildtype) different alleles on the hypo gene- “regular” hypo, strawberry, and Christmas, as well as 7 other hypo like genes- buf (which is dominant to wildtype), dilute, lava, peach, motley/striped, sunkissed, and ultra (which is an allele to amel).
Very cool! We look forward to playing with cornsnake genetics very soon!!!
Oh OK so when people called me uneducated for saying hypo and orange ghost were probably the same, they were just being mean? Got it.
Hypo and orange ghost are for sure the same mutation! Multiple groups have verified that!!! 👍🙌
Yes! An overview of DG would be great!!
Thanks 🙏
Would like the DG update on this channel
Thanks for the feedback, sounds like a few people would appreciate that, good to know!
So is orange ghost the same as hypo?
Yes it is! They both have the same -5 mutation that causes them 👍

Need a Paint update!
Nothing yet. We are still working paint, but no working test yet. Hopefully not too much longer 🤞🤞
The DG update would be great. Maybe I can point customers to it, especially if it covers the Luigi theory :)
Hopefully it will be more than a theory soon 🤞🤞
Hypo is such a great gene it makes thing looks so much neater.
Agreed one hundred percent!!!
Well, with the news about lowering the prices I am definitely going to shoot an email over to you guys. And I don’t know if I’ve said it before but thank you and I appreciate all the work you guys do. I’m a science geek so this is awesome! Plus, I breed reptiles so yeah it’s pretty freaking cool. Sorry for the language anyhow thank you.
Right on! Thanks for the kind words, and we look forward to running some sheds for you!!! 🙏🙌
Definitely interested to hear more about the DG saga. There are still many people like myself that are confused about it so it might be a good idea to refresh us or update us so we don’t keep spewing misinformation
Very good to know, sounds like we may need to plan such an episode. Thanks for the feedback!
First.
👏 love hypo one of my favorite recessive genes (other than tristripe😂)great to understand the gene a little better thanks. 😊
You bet! And agreed that tristripe is awesome too!!! We are working on that test now, will be a nice one to have…hopefully soon 🤞🤞
@@raregeneticsinc can't wait.
Off topic but…are dg and enhancer the same or are they compatible??
@@rolandquintanilla6807 from my understanding from what I’ve heard from others is that they are compatible they are both DG, but enhancer does do things a bit differently and I believe makes the snakes look cleaner than the regular DG. But if someone wants to be more scientific on this I’d welcome an explanation.
As far as the causal mutation that makes an animal look like a visual DG or Enhancer, it is the exact same and identical mutation. So with our DG test, enhancers test exactly the same.
Tri-Stripe!!!!
👍👍🙌
I've always wondered why green ghost is not compatible with the other hypos. It's just interesting to me. Love hypos
Good question, not sure if we have had green ghost sheds sent in. I’d be happy to look if anyone still has some!
I would want some DGabc information!!
Thanks for letting us know!
