The genome sequencing of an albino Western lowland gorilla reveals inbreeding in the wild
J Prado-Martinez, I Hernando-Herraez… - BMC genomics, 2013 - Springer
Background The only known albino gorilla, named Snowflake, was a male wild born
individual from Equatorial Guinea who lived at the Barcelona Zoo for almost 40 years. He
was diagnosed with non-syndromic oculocutaneous albinism, ie white hair, light eyes, pink
skin, photophobia and reduced visual acuity. Despite previous efforts to explain the genetic
cause, this is still unknown. Here, we study the genetic cause of his albinism and making
use of whole genome sequencing data we find a higher inbreeding coefficient compared to …
