  "summary": "Classical Mendelian coat phenotypes in the domestic guinea pig, Cavia porcellus, were central to early studies of mammalian genetics, yet their molecular bases remain unresolved. Long fur is characterized by elongated hair, and rough coat by whorled patterns of fur orientation. Here, we performed genome-wide association mapping using exome and whole-genome sequencing data to identify the genetic…",
