Researchers develop comprehensive genetic map for bison‚ discover gene responsible for albinism

A research team led by scientists from the Texas A&;M School of Veterinary Medicine &; Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) has developed the most comprehensive genome yet for the North American bison‚ bringing the animal's genetic roadmap up to date with the latest genome sequencing technology. In doing so‚ the research team also discovered the gene responsible for albinism in bison.
