Mahlo a boputsoa bo khanyang a Husky a khahla mahlo. Ke mefuta e seng mekae feela ea lintja, tse kang Australian Shepherd le Collie, le tsona li ka ba le mahlo a maputsoa. Ha e le li-Huskies tsa Siberia, joale bafuputsi ba fumane hore na mebala ea bona e atisa ho lebisa ho eng. Ho ea ka sena, ho na le kamano e haufi le ho pheta-pheta ha sebaka se itseng ho chromosome 18. Genome ea lintja e ajoa ka kakaretso ea li-chromosome tse 78, 46 ho batho le 38 ka likatse.
Mefuta e mengata ea liphatsa tsa lefutso, tse kang seo ho thoeng ke merle factor e bakang mahlo a maputsoa mefuteng e itseng ea lintja, e ne e se e tsejoa, empa ha e na karolo ho Siberia Huskies. Sehlopha se etelletsoeng pele ke Adam Boyko le Aaron Sams oa Embark Veterinary e Boston, Massachusetts, mofani oa liteko tsa DNA tsa ntja, hona joale o kenyelelitse lintja tse fetang 6,000 tse nang le mebala e sa tšoaneng ea mahlo tlhahlobo ea genome.
Sebaka se habeli sa chromosome se haufi le mofuta oa ALX4, o phethang karolo ea bohlokoa ho nts'etsopele ea mahlo ho liphoofolo tse anyesang, bafuputsi ba tlaleha koranteng ea PLOS Genetics. Leha ho le joalo, hase bohle ba Huskies ba nang le phapang ea liphatsa tsa lefutso ba nang le mahlo a maputsoa, kahoo lintlha tse ling tse neng li sa tsejoe nakong e fetileng tsa lefutso kapa tikoloho le tsona li tlameha ho phetha karolo. Hangata phoofolo e na le leihlo le le leng le sootho le le leng le leputsoa.
