Maso owala abuluu a Husky amakopa maso. Mitundu ina yochepa ya agalu, monga Australian Shepherd ndi Collie, ingakhalenso ndi maso a buluu. Ponena za ma Huskies a ku Siberia, ofufuza tsopano apeza zomwe mitundu yawo imatsogolera. Malingana ndi izi, pali ubale wapamtima ndi kubwereza kwa dera linalake pa chromosome 18. Genome ya agalu imagawidwa pa ma chromosomes 78, 46 mwa anthu ndi 38 mwa amphaka.
Mitundu ingapo ya majini, monga otchedwa merle factor yomwe imayambitsa maso a buluu mumitundu ina ya agalu, idadziwika kale, koma samachita nawo ma Huskies aku Siberia. Gulu lotsogozedwa ndi Adam Boyko ndi Aaron Sams wa Embark Veterinary ku Boston, Massachusetts, yemwe amapereka mayeso a DNA agalu, tsopano akuphatikizapo agalu oposa 6,000 omwe ali ndi mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya diso pofufuza ma genome.
Chigawo chowirikiza kawiri cha chromosome chili pafupi ndi jini ya ALX4, yomwe imagwira ntchito yofunika kwambiri pakukula kwa maso pa nyama zoyamwitsa, ofufuza akutero m'magazini yotchedwa PLOS Genetics. Komabe, si ma Huskies onse omwe ali ndi ma genetic omwe ali ndi maso a buluu, kotero kuti zinthu zina zomwe sizidziwika kale kapena zachilengedwe ziyeneranso kuchitapo kanthu. Nthawi zambiri nyama imakhala ndi diso limodzi labulauni ndi lina labuluu.
