Albinism Cane Toad
peer reviewedTYR
Funk et al. (2025) used CRISPR-Cas9 in captive cane toads to create TYR knockout albinos. This phene includes references to studies involving gene edited or genetically modified organisms (GMO).
Offspring odds
No numbers for this one.
No inheritance mode has been recorded for Albinism, so no offspring odds are given. Guessing one would be worse than saying nothing: a breeder would plan a season on it.
What this rests on
A peer-reviewed paper identifies the variant behind this morph in the gene TYR.
