Probably could have put this in ~science (crossposting when?), but I feel like the people really interested in this are over here. I've had two great tortoiseshells over the years. Gorgeous creatures.

It looks to me like they found the gene for orange by looking for the missing factor rather than a common factor being present. Missing that particular expression makes orange, not having an extra one.
