• Details the genetic basis of the colors built from the basic coat color, including dilutions and white patterning
• Provides an explanation of genetic mechanisms that determine coat color
• Presents a thorough revision and update, including new advances in molecular genetics, biochemistry, molecular mechanisms, genetic loci, coat colors before domestication, and more
