DNA testing and the question of species purity: what a species determination and a mutation screening can, and cannot, tell you about the Alexandrine and Rose-ringed parakeet.

Blue, Parblue, Aqua, Turquoise. Four phenotypes, one genetic family in the Alexandrine Parakeet, and three mutations that make the difference.

Five genetically distinguishable SL ino mutations. One identical Lutino phenotype. How NeorniLab tells them apart with DNA analysis.

The genetic code of the racing pigeon, simply explained.

The blue mutation in the Eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus): how it arises and is inherited, and the DNA test that confirms split carriers.
