Mapping the Ball Python "Morph" Genome?

The uses of CRISPR (Cas-9) in Morphology

There is already a draft ball genome out there. It is not annotated though, and I am not sure it is fully scaffolded… But yeah, just having the base genome is not enough, you would have to find the locus for every major morph/complex. But as @chesterhf said, that takes $$$ And then what do you do with all the info? Once you have the loci, you could set up a real simple PCR panel to test for het status on things, but I am not sure if that would really be worth it in the long run: I do not see …

The whole thread is pretty good actually
