Dr. Booth,

I think we are talking at cross to one another.

I was _not_ saying we need the Ball genome to determine parthenogenesis, as you point out, that is easy to accomplish right now.

What I was saying was that a quick screen to test for "hets", something like a simple PCR screen, you need the genome. You cannot create primers to Albino, three different Axanthics, Hypo, Clown, Lav, Caramel, Utramel, Genetic Stripe, Pied, etc., unless you know the sequence you are trying to detect. Sure, for something like Albino I can probably take a stab in the dark from all the other, known Tyr gene regions that have been sequenced and have a reasonable chance at succeeding but where would I begin if I wanted to test for Clown? What gene codes for Clown?
