RT-PCR detection of aberrant and normal-sized transcripts of the TYR gene. The major transcript in the recessive white genotype was the truncated transcript (lane 1, 2) and the major transcript in the heterozygous colored chicken was the normal sized transcript (lane 5, 6). There was no aberrant transcript in the homozygous black plumage chickens (lane 3, 4).
