A new line of Axanthics?

It would be super cool if they are a new blood line of Axanthics that you could start working with. But yeah let us know about the other shed tests when you get them back!

Iā€™m really excited for a Grey Rider podcast this afternoon and the RGI podcast Tuesday. Iā€™m totally Jonesing for some new morph test. I guess the fact weā€™ve been talking about a possible MJ/GCR test for a year speaks to how hard it is to develop a new test.

Best of luck!

Unfortunately GCR/MJ Axanthic wasnā€™t one of the 10 tests released Tuesday. Still waiting patiently. :smiley:

Has anyone heard what the hang up is on this test?

No idea. As I understood it, they were very close months ago. I assume the last batch for the test wasnā€™t great.

GCR/MJ test info: they do still look like they are the same mutation. We had a mutation in the promoter region of a gene known to play a role in color/pattern that looked very good, and ended up being correct over 95% of the timeā€¦BUT, we also found it in a small number of animals should not have any GCR or MJ in them. So, it looks like that mutation is not the correct one, but it is VERY close to the correct one since our testing is over 95% correct.

So, hopefully we will get lucky and get this test finished up soonā€¦but we never know. Sometimes we get super close only to have to go back two or three steps and start all over again. So, keep your fingers crossed for us!!!

Thanks @rgi and welcome to the community. Do you have any idea when the shed test results will be out? I donā€™t know if you are the one doing the shed testing but guessing so because I think you guys are the most popular shed tester, but if not donā€™t worry about answering.

Thanks for the update! Iā€™m so looking forward to this! Welcome to the forums!

So one question. If I were desperate for any info possible and willing to accept 95% :smiley: Could I get that?
