Yes indeed I see your point. At least mapping i9t would be a step towards a het test. Perhaps we could figure it out from comparing the DNA of known hets to normals or perhaps make guesses based on other species in which the location of the mutated gene is known?

>> . . . As far as testing for hets, well, I have been talking to Pete Kahl about this. The problem is, we would need to know the gene responsible for the pattern/colour variation. This we do not know. Even if we had the genome sequenced we would still have a lot of work ahead of us to find out which part of the genome contains the gene for the variation. This, again, we do not know . . . >>
