High impact information on Tccn

Conceptual translations of Tc vermilion (Tcv) and Tc cinnabar (Tccn) are 71 and 51% identical to their respective Drosophila orthologs [1].

Biological context of Tccn

Five available eye-color mutations were tested for linkage to Tcv or Tccn via recombinational mapping [1].
We used RNA interference (RNAi) to show that T. castaneum larvae lacking functional Tcv or Tccn gene products also lack the pigmented eyespots observed in wild-type larvae [1].
