Coat Colors: Only Two Bases

The 'E' Gene. It was named the "Extension" locus because the dominant allele, E, "extends" the eumelanin (black pigment). The recessive allele, e, blocks the eumelanin, leaving only phaeomelanin (red pigment).

All equine coat colors are based off of one of the two colors, Black or Red(chestnut). Genetically, black is represented by E and red by e. Black is dominant over red. As such, all reds are homozygous* recessive (ee). Black horses can be either heterozygous*(Ee) or homozygous dominant (EE).

As far as shades go, there are a few different variations on black, namely blue-black or true, non-fading black, and fading black, which gets a yellowish brown cast to the coat when kept outside. Chestnuts however, can come in shades that range from nearly palomino looking to nearly black. Chestnuts can also have flaxen manes and tails, seen on any shade.

This brings us to...

Our First Contest!

What we'd like to see is your portrayal of either a black or chestnut horse.

RULES***EDIT***

2. White markings are allowed, but they can't go higher than the knee/hock, and face markings are restricted to a blaze. Future contests will be held for the wilder colors/patterns

I do sincerely apologize for the delay in information! Both Beauty and I have been trying to settle back into the rhythm of Centenary and as such have rarely been online long enough to check our own accounts, let alone the poor Equi-genes club! But I do have some good news! I have the first installment of color explanation!

I just wanted to let everyone know that we will be running on limited internet time until September, so if things seem slow right now, it's because ~BeautyGirl1510 is finishing her summer job and I(*WSTopDeck) am finishing up with my summer working student position Thanks for understanding! I'd like to let you know that there will be a contest coming up sometime in September!

***EDIT*** Wow! Over 20 members already! You guys are awesome!

This is a club for the promotion of correct equine coat color genetics and patterns in the digital realm! Our express purpose is to educate those on deviantART on realistic horse coat colors and the genetics involved in creating them as well as how to properly portray them in your prefered medium, be it traditional or digital. (well that was a mouthful and a half... )

The reason this club came about is because we, and , we are very interested in the way that horse color genetics actually work and would like to share our knowledge with those who don't, but would like to learn. This is not to imply that we know all, certainly we would like to add to our knowledge, but we do know the basics. (and a bit beyond )

But don't think of us as almighty color gods, we want to hear what you know too!

We have a whole (small-ish) basket full of ideas that we would like to do, including contests, tutorials, and indepth color descriptions! (deoesn't that sound like fun?!)

Ok, if you think this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, just watch the club and we will add you to our member list!
(it makes things easier for us!) We will update soon on how to send submissions as well as what will be accepted.

So now you know the gist of what we were going for, we will post more in time, but before we go, here are some of the many 'rejected' club name ideas.
