New Genetics Calc

[paulh]

Single gene lists all the morphs with their heterozygous and homozygous forms (besides dominant). Double gene lists all combos with 2 different genes making them up. triple gene lists combos with 3 different genes making them up and quad+ does everything else. The mojave lesser BEL is in the double gene section because it has two different morphs involved with it. I'm not quite sure how else you would want to see them organized. Lemme know what you had in mind.



The only BEL that is not identified is the Lesser and Butter BELs. The rest are. I think most people are aware that super lesser or super butters are BEL and I see no reason to differentiate between butters and lessers. So thats what I came up with.



Link I posted in at the top, clutch 76 on RDR's website, he bred a pair of platinums together. which you have 3 possibilities, referring to the calc...


The baby was not a BEL or a platinum, just a baby that looked like a heterozygous daddy gene.

I agree that the single gene list should have all the single locus morphs with their heterozygous and homozygous forms. Double gene list should have all combos with mutant genes at 2 different loci.

By definition, any gene pair with two different genes is a heterozygous gene pair. It is not limited to a gene pair containing a mutant and a normal gene. A butter//daddy gene pair is a heterozygous gene pair.

Here's what I had in mind. Make two lists of all genes at the white snake locus (lesser platinum, mojave, butter, daddy, normal, etc.). First list is for the gene that is first in the gene pair. Second list is for the gene that is second in the gene pair. Match each gene in the first list with every gene in the second list. Delete the homozygous normal gene pair and the duplicates. A butter//daddy gene pair is the same as a daddy//butter gene pair, so one of them is a duplicate and can be deleted. All of those homozygous and heterozygous gene pairs go in the single gene list. As alleles make a natural grouping, all of those gene pairs should be grouped in one spot.

I've not seen a picture of a het daddy or homozygous daddy ball python. I was under the impression that a snake with a daddy gene paired with a normal gene looked normal. If the het daddy python looks like a normal, then I'd call the daddy gene a recessive mutant gene.
