Expression of SILV in eumelaneic and phaeomelaneic bovine skin. RT-PCR products for the bovine SILV region spanning exon 5 to exon 7 were generated with primer E5_F1 – E7_R1 in differentially pigmented bovine skin. 1: non-pigmented skin from a heterozygous dilute (Dc^D/Dc^d), eumelaneic (E^D/E^D) spotted individual; 2: pigmented skin from a heterozygous dilute (Dc^D/Dc^d), eumelaneic (E^D/E^D) spotted individual; 3: crème white skin from a homozygous dilute (Dc^D/Dc^D), eumelaneic (E^D/E^D) non-spotted individual; 4: non-pigmented skin from a heterozygous dilute (Dc^D/Dc^d), phaeomelaneic (E^e/E^e) spotted individual; 5: pigmented skin from a homozygous non-dilute (Dc^d/Dc^d), eumelaneic (E^D/E^e) spotted individual; M: marker
