Re: [RC] Appy's - heidiColor me ignorant, but what is so special about the appaloosa breed that it warrants all this DNA research as opposed to all the European spotted breeds? Actually, it isn't only Appaloosas whose genetics are looked into. One of the late Ann Bowling's several big contributions to the field of equine genetics involved major research on Przewalski horses. There are gene tests developed for genetic diseases in several breeds. The Appaloosa just happened to be the subject of this thread, but research is going by leaps and bounds in many aspects of equine genetics, involving many breeds.
