Every gene on Breeders Direct — what it is, how it is inherited, and which species carry it
Combination of hypomelanism and albino, leading to vibrant yellow or orange colors.
Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.
Pattern reducer and head pattern change
Recessive: Requires two copies to express
Protruding eyes
Polygenic: Determined by multiple genes
Pattern mutation producing clean lateral stripe
Dominant: Single gene sufficient to express
Vertical darker bands, often running over and down the sides (“tiger stripes”); variation in strength.
Line bred colour trait: A line-bred color trait refers to a specific color characteristic in animals that is maintained or intensified through line breeding.
A recessive trait that lightens the belly color, often to a creamy or yellowish hue.
Recessive: Requires two copies to express
Lighter-colored animals with nearly see-through skin; often have black or red eyes.
Recessive: Requires two copies to express
Pattern distortion, creates busy patterns.
Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.
Three distinct colors appearing; commonly combinations like red/orange, white, and another darker tone.
Line bred colour trait: A line-bred color trait refers to a specific color characteristic in animals that is maintained or intensified through line breeding.
Dark rear body with contrasting front
Polygenic: Determined by multiple genes
Recessive morph producing caramel/amber tones
Recessive: Requires two copies to express
Subtle lightening gene related to Fire
Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.
Long flowing fins
Polygenic: Determined by multiple genes
Pure white body with metallic shine.
Dominant: Single gene sufficient to express
A gene founded in South Africa characterized by a lack of pattern and muted color, resulting in a washed-out appearance, often described as earthy brown or a light pastel yellow.
Recessive: Requires two copies to express
Pattern mutation with wobble risk
Associated with wobble in some lines. No homozygous Woma has been produced; Woma × Woma is believed to be lethal in the egg.
Dominant: Single gene sufficient to express
Yellow is a color trait—a visible characteristic (phenotype) based on pigmentation, such as feather color, scale color, or fur.
Line bred colour trait: A line-bred color trait refers to a specific color characteristic in animals that is maintained or intensified through line breeding.
Enhances flames/checkering; in super produces Ivory
Yellow Belly complex allele interactions (Freeway/Highway combos)
Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.
Extra vertical bar(s) pattern
Dominant: Single gene sufficient to express
Removes pattern and color (white/gray phenotype)
Recessive: Requires two copies to express
