Please check my gene expression, everybody

[Vanckey]

We know that Mack super snow carry 2 snow genes and Mack snow carry only one, so can we express Mack super snow tremper by S'S'aa and Mack snow tremper by S'Saa ?

We also know RAPTOR carry tremper gene and eclipse gene, so can we express it by aaee ?

If all above are tenable, once Mack super snow tremper breed to RAPTOR,
we can express S'S'aaEE×SSaaee = 100% S'SaaEe , right?

I m not quite sure about these two morphs' expression, please offer me any opinion , thanks !:main_thumbsup:

I didn't understand the first part of your post too well, but if you are using AA for homozygous normals, Aa for hets and aa for homozygous mutants, you should use SS for normals, Ss for Mack snows and ss for super snows (I guess. I didn't know the nomenclature you used - the S'S' thing). The super snow is just the homozygous form of the Mack snow.

So:

Super Snow Tremper - ssaaEE
RAPTOR - SSaaee
Offspring - SsaaEe

Oh yes~ S' means a co-dominant gene - mack snow gene, in my way , S'S means Mack snow , and S'S' means super snow, the same meaning as 's' ,thanks!

That looks like the symbolism the Genetics Wizard uses. Not my favorite, but I've seen worse. Main suggestion I have is to put a space between the gene pairs to make it more readable. In other words, change S'SaaEe into S'S aa Ee.

I prefer the mouse system. In that, S'S aa Ee would be S+ aa E+. By international convention, the + character, either alone or as a superscript, stands for the normal gene. But these forum editors will not do superscripts, as far as I know.

Thank you paulh ! I learn more. by the way is there any website that help people calculating the breeding genetic rate ? i remember one , i lost the link.

I think you want the Genetics Wizard. It works if you give it input in the manner it expects. It does not understand a combination like het RAPTOR. Each gene pair must be input separately. There have been a couple of threads about using the Wizard in the past week or so.
