Cheers! I will take a look. I have seen Manuel around in a few areas. I'm happy to gather as many sources and ideas as possible! The more things I learn, the better.

Ah - I had read a bit from Janice too on it, in a facebook genetics group. I'm excited to read the other replies now!

"It may be a modifier that needs a white pattern and at least one cinnamon gene to express itself. There are rat breeders that specialize in odd eyes. Even they don't know the mechanism that's at work."
- Interesting!

The polygenic approach is fascinating too. I suppose we won't know for a while then.

Thank you for sharing that!
