The EE Paint Horse
What Is Black Pigment Gene?
A red coat color in horses is well-documented to be inherited as a trait recessive to black. A diagnotic test for the red factor, based on DNA analysis, provides the information to determine what color offspring a horse can throw. The absence of the red factor presents itself as "E".
"E" - No red factor was detected. The horse can be assumed to be homozygous for black pigment (EE). It cannot have red foals (sorrel or chestnut) regardless of the color of the mate. The basic color of the horse will be black, bay or brown, but may also have buckskin, zebra dun, grulla, perlino, gray, white or any of these colors with the white hair patterns of tobiano (for Paints).
